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

(1) The Authority may upon such terms and conditions as it thinks fit grant to any person a licence to construct, maintain, alter, renew or extend any works in the port on, under, in or over tidal waters or land below the level of high water, notwithstanding that the works as constructed, maintained, altered, renewed, or extended interfere with the public right of navigation or any other public right.

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.
