Propose a change

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024

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

62 Acceptance of report

(1) Where the CMA receives a report under section 57(1), the CMA must, within the period of 5 working days beginning with the first working day after the day on which it receives the report, give a notice to the person that made the report confirming whether the CMA accepts that the report is sufficient. (2) Where the CMA does not accept that a report is sufficient it must, in its notice under subsection (1), include reasons for its decision. (3) The CMA may not decide that a report is not sufficient where the report— (a) contains all information required by notice under section 60(1)(a), and (b) is made in the form required by notice under section 60(1)(b). (4) A person who makes a report under section 57(1) may withdraw that report at any time before the CMA gives notice that it has accepted that the report is sufficient. (5) Where a report is withdrawn, this Chapter applies as if the event to which it related had not been reported to the CMA.

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.
