Propose a change

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

What to do with it
As published

9V Deferred publication

(1) Where the Financial Policy Committee decides under subsection (8)(b) of section 9U that publication of information within the time required by subsection (1) of that section would be against the public interest— (a) it must consider whether to fix a date as the earliest date on which the information may be published, and (b) if it does not fix a date, it must keep under consideration the question whether publication of the information would still be against the public interest. (2) The Committee must from time to time determine the procedures that it will follow in complying with the duty in subsection (1)(b). (3) Where the Committee— (a) fixes a date under subsection (1)(a) as the earliest date on which any information may be published, or (b) decides under subsection (1)(b) that publication of any information is no longer against the public interest, the Bank must publish the information at the time when it next publishes under section 9U(1) the record of a meeting of the Committee.

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.
