Bank of England Act 1998
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
15 Publication of minutes of meetings.
(1) As soon as reasonably practicable after each meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee, the Bank shall publish minutes of the meeting .... (2) Subsection (1) shall not apply to minutes of any proceedings relating to— (a) a decision to intervene in financial markets, or (b) a decision about the publication of a decision to intervene in financial markets, unless the Committee has decided that publication of the decision to intervene would not be likely, or would no longer be likely, to impede or frustrate the achievement of the intervention’s purpose. (3) Minutes of proceedings relating to— (a) a decision to intervene in financial markets, or (b) a decision about the publication of a decision to intervene in financial markets, shall, if not required to be published as soon as reasonably practicable after the meeting, be published by the Bank as soon as reasonably practicable after a statement about the decision to intervene is published under section 14(5). (4) Minutes published under this section shall record, in relation to any decision of the Committee, the voting preference of the members who took part in the vote on the decision. (4A) The Bank shall exclude from minutes published under this section information which relates to proceedings of the Financial Policy Committee if the Bank considers that publication of that information would be against the public interest. (5) Publication under this section shall be in such manner as the Bank thinks fit.

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.
