Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996
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
11 Consultation with beneficiaries.
(1) The trustees of land shall in the exercise of any function relating to land subject to the trust— (a) so far as practicable, consult the beneficiaries of full age and beneficially entitled to an interest in possession in the land, and (b) so far as consistent with the general interest of the trust, give effect to the wishes of those beneficiaries, or (in case of dispute) of the majority (according to the value of their combined interests). (2) Subsection (1) does not apply— (a) in relation to a trust created by a disposition in so far as provision that it does not apply is made by the disposition, (b) in relation to a trust created or arising under a will made before the commencement of this Act, or (c) in relation to the exercise of the power mentioned in section 6(2). (3) Subsection (1) does not apply to a trust created before the commencement of this Act by a disposition, or a trust created after that commencement by reference to such a trust, unless provision to the effect that it is to apply is made by a deed executed— (a) in a case in which the trust was created by one person and he is of full capacity, by that person, or (b) in a case in which the trust was created by more than one person, by such of the persons who created the trust as are alive and of full capacity. (4) A deed executed for the purposes of subsection (3) is irrevocable.

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.
