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
151 Intervention by Secretary of State.
(1) The Secretary of State may exercise the powers conferred by this section if it appears to him that— (a) the manager of a contracted out removal centre has lost, or is likely to lose, effective control of the centre or of any part of it; or (b) it is necessary to do so in the interests of preserving the safety of any person, or of preventing serious damage to any property. (2) The Secretary of State may appoint a person (to be known as the Controller) to act as manager of the removal centre for the period— (a) beginning with the time specified in the appointment; and (b) ending with the time specified in the notice of termination under subsection (5). (3) During that period— (a) all the functions which would otherwise be exercisable by the manager or the contract monitor are to be exercisable by the Controller; (b) the contractor and any sub-contractor of his must do all that he reasonably can to facilitate the exercise by the Controller of his functions; and (c) the staff of the removal centre must comply with any directions given by the Controller in the exercise of his functions. (4) The Controller is to have the status of a Crown servant. (5) If the Secretary of State is satisfied that a Controller is no longer needed for a particular removal centre, he must (by giving notice to the Controller) terminate his appointment at a time specified in the notice. (6) As soon as practicable after making an appointment under this section, the Secretary of State must give notice of the appointment to those entitled to notice. (7) As soon as practicable after terminating an appointment under this section, the Secretary of State must give a copy of the notice of termination to those entitled to notice. (8) Those entitled to notice are the contractor, the manager, the contract monitor and the Controller.

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.
