Export Guarantees and Overseas Investment Act 1978 (repealed 23.10.1991)
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
5 Payments to exporters in respect of cost increases.
(1) For the purpose of encouraging trade with other countries, the Secretary of State may, with the consent of the Treasury, make arrangements for making payments to persons carrying on business in the United Kingdom who have entered into export contracts, being payments related to such increases in the cost of labour, materials or other matters as may be specified by or under the arrangements. (2) Arrangements under this section may contain such terms and conditions as the Secretary of State thinks fit, including provisions requiring payments to be made to the Secretary of State as consideration for his entering into the arrangements. (3) Subject to subsection (4) below, no arrangements shall be made under this section after 26th March 1979. (4) The Secretary of State may by order extend the period during which arrangements may be made under this section by not more than one year at a time.

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.
