Propose a change

Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

19 Code: transitional

(1) In this section— (a) “the interim period” means the period after the Board is established under section 1 but before the Board has adopted and published a Code under section 10(1), and (b) “the existing Code” means the National Statistics Code of Practice existing at the time of the commencement of this section. (2) During the interim period the Board is to maintain the existing Code. (3) The Board may at any time during the interim period revise the existing Code and, if it decides to do so, must publish that Code as revised. (4) The Board may not under subsection (3) make any revision relating to pre-release access to official statistics (within the meaning of section 11). (5) Sections 11(2) to (7), 12 and 14 apply during the interim period in relation to the existing Code as they apply in relation to the Code under section 10.

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.

Think it through

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.
