Propose a change

Gambling Act 2005

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

280 Section 279: supplementary

(1) In section 279(2) “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State; and regulations may, in particular, make different provision for different classes or descriptions of game. (2) For the purposes of section 279(5) two games are linked if— (a) the result of one game is or may be wholly or partly determined by reference to the result of the other game, or (b) the amount or value of a prize available in one game is or may be wholly or partly determined by reference to the extent of participation in the other game; and if a single game is played partly on one set of premises and partly on another it shall be treated as two linked games.

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.
