Propose a change

Prosecution of Offences Act 1985

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

26 Consents to be admissible in evidence.

Any document purporting to be the consent of a Law Officer of the Crown, the Director or a Crown Prosecutor for, or to— (a) the institution of any criminal proceedings; or (b) the institution of criminal proceedings in any particular form; and to be signed by a Law Officer of the Crown, the Director or, as the case may be, a Crown Prosecutor shall be admissible as prima facie evidence without further proof.

Your change, as a redline

26 Consents to be admissible in evidence.

Any document purporting to be the consent of a Law Officer of the Crown, the Director or a Crown Prosecutor for, or to— (a) the institution of any criminal proceedings; or (b) the institution of criminal proceedings in any particular form; and to be signed by a Law Officer of the Crown, the Director or, as the case may be, a Crown Prosecutor shall be admissible as prima facie evidence without further proof.

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.
