As published

524 The total amount of part surrender gains

(1) To calculate the total amount of part surrender gains— Step 1 Apply the provisions of this Chapter mentioned in subsection (3) as modified by subsections (4) and (5) in relation to the policy or contract as at the end of each previous insurance year during its existence. Step 2 Determine whether in each case those provisions produce a gain and, if so, its amount. Step 3 Add together all of the amounts produced by step 2. (2) But if there is no previous insurance year during the existence of the policy or contract, the total amount of part surrender gains is nil. (3) The provisions of this Chapter which apply for the purposes of the calculation in subsection (1) are— (a) subsections (2) to (6) of section 507 (method for making periodic calculations), and (b) subsections (1) to (3) and (5) of section 508 (the value of rights partially surrendered). (4) The provisions of section 507 mentioned in subsection (3) apply for the purposes of this section with the omission of all references in that section— (a) to the assignment of any part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract, or (b) to the value of any part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract so assigned. (5) In the application of step 3 in subsection (4) of section 507 for the purposes of this section, the reference in that step to previous calculation events does not include a reference to an excess event consisting of the assignment of a part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract.

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.
