(2) In the case of a lump sum direct deduction order, the bank may not deduct from the liable person’s account an amount in respect of the bank’s administrative costs which exceeds the lesser of— (a) £55, or (b) the amount the bank has actually incurred, or reasonably estimates it has incurred or will incur, in respect of complying with the direct deduction order (including any action the bank was required to take prior to being given the direct deduction order).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
