Propose a change

Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

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

14 Escorts for persons removed from the United Kingdom under directions.

(1) Directions for, or requiring arrangements to be made for, the removal of a person from the United Kingdom may include or be amended to include provision for the person who is to be removed to be accompanied by an escort consisting of one or more persons specified in the directions. (2) The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision supplementing subsection (1). (3) The regulations may, in particular, include provision— (a) requiring the person to whom the directions are given to provide for the return of the escort to the United Kingdom; (b) requiring him to bear such costs in connection with the escort (including, in particular, remuneration) as may be prescribed; (c) as to the cases in which the Secretary of State is to bear those costs; (d) prescribing the kinds of expenditure which are to count in calculating the costs incurred in connection with escorts.

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.
