Medicines Act 1968

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

74D Conditional registration: Great Britain

(1) The registrar may make the entry of premises entered in Part 3 of the register under section 74A subject to such conditions as the registrar considers it necessary to impose for the purpose of securing the safe and effective practice of pharmacy in the course of the business carried on at or from those premises. (2) The power under subsection (1)— (a) may be exercised on the making of the entry or subsequently (whether on a renewal of the entry or otherwise); (b) includes power to vary the conditions to which the entry of the premises in Part 3 of the register is subject, including by adding to the conditions or revoking any of them. (3) Except as provided in subsection (4), the registrar may not under subsection (1)— (a) impose a new condition in respect of premises already entered in Part 3 of the register; or (b) vary or revoke any conditions to which the entry of premises entered in Part 3 of the register is subject, unless the registrar has given reasonable notice in writing of the condition to be imposed or, as the case may be, of the variation or revocation of an existing condition, to the person carrying on the retail pharmacy business at or from the premises and of the date from which that condition, variation or revocation is to have effect. (4) The registrar may, with immediate effect— (a) impose a new condition in respect of premises already entered in Part 3 of the register; or (b) vary or revoke any conditions to which the entry of premises entered in Part 3 of the register is subject, if, in the registrar’s opinion, the giving of reasonable notice as required by subsection (3) would prejudice the health, safety or well-being of members of the public. (5) The registrar must give notice in writing of any decision under subsection (4) to the person carrying on a retail pharmacy business at or from the premises. (6) The notice under subsection (5) must be sent— (a) where the retail pharmacy business is carried on by an individual, to that individual at that individual’s home address in the register; (b) where the retail pharmacy business is carried on by a partnership, to that partnership at its principal office; or (c) where the retail pharmacy business is carried on by a body corporate, to that body corporate at its registered or principal office. (7) Where premises are entered in the register because condition C in section 74B is met by virtue of subsection (4)(a)(ii) of that section, the registrar may, on making the entry of the premises in the register, also make that entry subject to a condition that the applicant for registration will be a person lawfully conducting a retail pharmacy business within such period as the registrar reasonably determines beginning with the date on which the entry is made.

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.
