Propose a change

Communications Act 2003

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

105Z11 Laying before Parliament

(1) The Secretary of State must lay before Parliament a copy of— (a) a designated vendor direction; (b) a designation notice; (c) a notice of a variation or revocation of a designated vendor direction; and (d) a notice of a variation or revocation of a designation notice. (2) The requirement in subsection (1) does not apply if the Secretary of State considers that laying a copy of the direction or notice (as the case may be) before Parliament would be contrary to the interests of national security. (3) The Secretary of State may exclude from what is laid before Parliament anything the publication of which the Secretary of State considers— (a) would, or would be likely to, prejudice to an unreasonable degree the commercial interests of any person; or (b) would be contrary to the interests of national security.

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.
