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.

What to do with it
As published

330 Effect of proscription order

(1) This section applies where a service is for the time being proscribed by an order under section 329. (2) The proscribed service is not to be included in— (a) a multiplex service; or (b) a cable package. (3) In this section “multiplex service” means a television multiplex service, a radio multiplex service or a general multiplex service. (4) In this section “cable package” means (subject to subsection (5)) a service by means of which programme services are packaged together with a view to their being distributed— (a) by means of an electronic communications service; (b) so as to be available for reception by members of the public in the United Kingdom; and (c) without the final delivery of the programme services to the persons to whom they are distributed being by wireless telegraphy. (5) Programme services distributed by means of an electronic communications service do not form part of a cable package if— (a) the distribution of those services forms only part of a service provided by means of that electronic communications service; and (b) the purposes for which the service of which it forms a part is provided do not consist wholly or mainly in making available television programmes or radio programmes (or both) for reception by members of the public.

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.
