Import, Export and Customs Powers (Defence) Act 1939
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.

1 Control of importation and exportation.
(1) The Board of Trade may by order make such provisions as the Board think expedient for prohibiting or regulating, in all cases or any specified classes of cases, and subject to such exceptions, if any, as may be made by or under the order, the importation into, ..., the United Kingdom or any specified part thereof, ..., of all goods or goods of any specified description.

(4) For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that, without prejudice to the provisions of the enactments for the time being in force relating to customs or excise with respect to ships and aircraft, the taking into ... the United Kingdom of ships or aircraft may be prohibited or regulated by an order under this section as an importation ... of goods, notwithstanding that the ships or aircraft are conveying goods or passengers, and whether or not they are moving under their own power. (5) Notwithstanding anything in section 145 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979, a prosecution for an offence under an order made in pursuance of this section may, in England or Northern Ireland, be instituted by, or under the authority of, the Board of Trade.

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.
