Commonwealth Institute Act 1958 (Repealed)
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
5 Power of lending and disposing of objects.
(1) The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs may— (a) lend for public exhibition in the United Kingdom or elsewhere any object comprised in the collections maintained for the purposes of the Commonwealth Institute; (b) sell, or otherwise dispose of, any such object as aforesaid which appears to him to have become useless for the purposes aforesaid. (2) The said Secretary of State may, if requested so to do by the Government of any part of the Commonwealth outside the United Kingdom, sell or give to it for exhibition in that part of the Commonwealth any such object as aforesaid, if he is of opinion that it is more appropriate for it to be exhibited there than in the United Kingdom. (3) Any sums received by the said Secretary of State in consequence of an exercise of the powers conferred on him by this section shall be paid into the Exchequer.

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.
