Crown Agents Act 1979
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
26 Position with respect to recoverable grants paid to unincorporated Agents.
(1) The liability of the unincorporated Agents to make, at the direction of the Minister, repayments in respect of the sums totalling £175 million paid to them by the Minister by way of recoverable grant (that is to say the sums of £85 million and £90 million so paid on 24th December 1974 and 28th March 1978 respectively) shall cease on the day before the appointed day, and shall accordingly not become a liability of the Crown Agents or the Board. (2) If for any accounting year— (a) there is an excess of revenue of the Board over the total sums properly chargeable by the Board to revenue account; and (b) under paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 5 the Minister has power to direct the Board to pay the whole or a part of that excess into the Consolidated Fund, then, in deciding whether to give the Board such a direction, the Minister shall have regard to the fact that the sum of £175 million mentioned in subsection (1) would have been recoverable at his direction but for that subsection.

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.
