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
7F Review by the Treasury
(1) The Treasury may appoint an independent person to conduct a review of the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which the Bank has used its resources in discharging its functions as the Prudential Regulation Authority. (2) “ Independent ” means appearing to the Treasury to be independent of the Bank. (3) A review under this section may be limited to such of the Bank's functions as the Prudential Regulation Authority (however described) as the Treasury may specify in appointing the person to conduct it. (4) A review under this section is not to be concerned with the merits of the Bank's general policy or principles in pursuing the Bank's objectives (including its objectives as the Prudential Regulation Authority). (5) On completion of the review, the person conducting it must make a written report to the Treasury— (a) setting out the result of the review, and (b) making such recommendations (if any) as the person considers appropriate. (6) A copy of the report must be— (a) laid before Parliament, and (b) published in such manner as the Treasury think fit. (7) Any expenses reasonably incurred in the conduct of the review are to be met by the Treasury out of money provided by Parliament.

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.
