Propose a change

The Single Source Contract Regulations 2014

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.

3 Meaning of “defence purposes” and “substantially for defence purposes”)

(1) “Defence purposes” means the purposes of defence (whether or not of the United Kingdom), or related purposes. (2) A contract will be substantially for defence purposes if the contract fulfils a requirement for goods, works or services for defence purposes and paragraph (3) or (4) applies. (3) This paragraph applies if the value of the goods, works and services for defence purposes is more than £5,000,000 and more than 30% of the total value of the contract. (4) This paragraph applies if the value of the goods, works and services for defence purposes is more than £25,000,000. (5) For the purposes of paragraphs (3) and (4), the value of goods, works and services for defence purposes is the difference between the total value of the contract and the value of the contract if it did not contain a requirement for such goods, works or services.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.
