Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000
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
2 Appropriation in aid.
(1) The Treasury may, subject to any relevant limit set by an Appropriation Act, direct that resources may be applied as an appropriation in aid of resources authorised by Parliament to be used for the service of a particular year. (2) A direction under subsection (1) shall be— (a) made by minute, and (b) laid before Parliament. (3) Subsections (4) and (5) apply where money is received in connection with an appropriation in aid which has been or is expected to be directed under subsection (1). (4) Where the money is received in the year for the service of which the appropriation in aid is authorised— (a) the appropriation in aid is authority for the money to be used in accordance with the Treasury’s direction, and (b) in so far as it is not used for that purpose it shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund. (5) Where the money is received in a year other than that for the service of which the appropriation in aid is or is to be authorised, it shall be— (a) retained and applied as a use of resources authorised by Appropriation Act for the service of the year in which the money is received, or (b) paid into the Consolidated Fund.

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.
