Reserve Forces Act 1996
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
26 Parliamentary control of commitments.
(1) Parliament may authorise for each of the reserve forces a maximum number of officers and a maximum number of men who may at any time be— (a) in full-time service under full-time service commitments; or (a) in service under section 24 commitments; or (b) subject to additional duties commitments which are in force. (2) Accordingly, the numbers of officers and men of a reserve force who are in full-time service service under section 24 commitments, or subject to additional duties commitments which are in force, shall not exceed any numbers for the time being authorised by Parliament for that force. (3) Any members of a reserve force who are in full-time service service under section 24 commitments or who are subject to additional duties commitments shall not be reckoned in any numbers for the time being authorised by Parliament for any of the regular services.

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.
