Propose a change

Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1978 (Repealed 27.8.1991)

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.
