Propose a change

The Port of Tyne Harbour Revision Order 2026

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

40 Powers to grant tenancies and to dispose of land

(1) The Authority may, for the purposes of or in connection with the carrying on of the port undertaking, lease or grant the use or occupation of, or any right or interest in or over, any lands, works, buildings, machinery, equipment or other property forming part of the port for such period, at such rents and other considerations and on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit. (2) A lease or grant made or given under paragraph (1) may include provisions delegating to the lessee or grantee any of the port functions of the Authority, other than the functions set out in sub-paragraphs (a) to (f) of paragraph 9B of Schedule 2 to the 1964 Act. (3) The Authority may, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit, dispose of, or grant the use or occupation for any purpose of, any lands, works, buildings, machinery, equipment or other property vested in it if it considers that— (a) the property is surplus to that which is required for the purposes of the port undertaking; or (b) it would be conducive to the improvement, maintenance, operation or management of the port undertaking in an efficient and economical manner for the property to be held by a person other than the Authority.

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.
