(1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2) The provisions of the London Environment Strategy dealing with climate change mitigation and energy shall contain the Mayor's proposals and policies with respect to the contribution to be made in Greater London towards each of the following— (a) the mitigation of climate change, (b) the achievement of any objectives specified or described in national policies relating to energy. (3) The provisions dealing with climate change mitigation and energy must include the Mayor's proposals and policies relating to each of the following— (a) minimising emissions of carbon dioxide and other significant greenhouse substances from the use of energy in Greater London for the purposes of surface transport, (b) minimising emissions of carbon dioxide and other significant greenhouse substances from the use of energy in Greater London for purposes other than those of transportation, (c) supporting innovation, and encouraging investment, in energy technologies in Greater London, (d) promoting the efficient production and use of energy in Greater London. (4) In subsection (3) above “other significant greenhouse substances” means substances (other than carbon dioxide)— (a) which contribute to climate change, and (b) which the Mayor considers it appropriate to deal with in the provisions dealing with climate change mitigation and energy. (5) In performing the duty under subsection (3)(c) above, the Mayor must have regard to the desirability of advancing energy technologies which involve the emission of lower levels of substances which contribute to climate change. (6) The provisions dealing with climate change mitigation and energy shall also contain information about— (a) the pattern of energy use in Greater London, (b) the levels of emissions in, or attributable to, Greater London of substances which contribute to climate change, (c) the number of households in Greater London in which one or more persons are living in fuel poverty, within the meaning of the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act 2000 (see section 1 of that Act), (d) the measures to be taken, for the purpose of implementing those provisions, by each of the following— (i) the Authority, (ii) Transport for London, (iii) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
