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
9L Macro-prudential measures
(1) For the purposes of section 9H a “macro-prudential measure” is a measure prescribed by the Treasury by order. (2) Before making an order under this section, the Treasury must— (a) consult the Financial Policy Committee, or (b) if the Treasury consider that the delay involved in consulting the Committee would be prejudicial to the stability of the UK financial system, consult the Governor of the Bank. (3) In prescribing a measure, the order must specify whether the measure is prescribed in relation to the FCA, the PRA, or both. (4) An order under this section— (a) may make different provision for different cases; (b) may confer a discretion on the Financial Policy Committee, the FCA or the PRA; (c) may refer to rules made by the FCA or the PRA; (d) may refer to a publication issued by the FCA, the PRA, another body in the United Kingdom or an international organisation, as the publication has effect from time to time; (e) may contain transitional provisions and savings relating to the coming into force of any provision of the order or to the ceasing to be in force of any temporary provision made by the 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.
