Propose a change

Finance Act 2010

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.

What to do with it
As published

66 Alcoholic liquor duties: power to amend definition of “cider”

In section 1 of ALDA 1979 (dutiable alcoholic liquors), after subsection (6) insert— (6A) The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument amend subsection (6) above. (6B) An order under subsection (6A) above may make— (a) consequential amendments in this Act or any other enactment, (b) other consequential provision, and (c) supplementary, incidental and transitional provision. (6C) A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (6A) above is to be laid before the House of Commons after being made; and, unless it is approved by that House before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which it is made, ceases to have effect at the end of that period (but without that affecting anything previously done under it or the making of a new order). (6D) In reckoning that period no account is to be taken of any time— (a) during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued, or (b) during which the House of Commons is adjourned for more than 4 days.

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.
