Customs and Excise Duties (General Reliefs) Act 1979
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
11A Relief from excise duty on goods imported for testing etc.
(1) The Commissioners may by order provide that, in such cases and subject to such exceptions as may be specified in the order, goods imported into the United Kingdom for the sole or main purpose— (a) of being examined, analysed or tested; or (b) of being used to test other goods, shall be relieved from excise duty chargeable on importation; and any such relief may take the form either of an exemption from payment of duty or of a provision whereby the sum payable by way of duty is less than it otherwise would be. (2) An order under this section— (a) may make any relief for which it provides subject to conditions specified in or under the order, including conditions to be complied with after the importation of the goods to which the relief applies; (b) may contain such incidental and supplementary provisions as the Commissioners think necessary or expedient; and (c) may make different provision for different cases. (3) In this section, reference to excise duty include any additions to such duty by virtue of section 1 of the Excise Duties (Surcharges or Rebates) Act 1979.

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.
