Propose a change

Industrial Development Act 1985

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

What to do with it
As published

2 Extension of the Corporation’s borrowing power.

For section 4(1) of the 1981 Act (which confers borrowing power on the Corporation, but limits that power to borrowing from the Commission of the European Union or from the European Investment Bank) there shall be substituted the following subsection— (1) For the purpose of the exercise of any of its functions, the Corporation may, in accordance with directions under section 2(4) above given with the approval of the Treasury, borrow either in sterling or in a currency other than sterling from any person other than the Secretary of State.

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.
