Trade Marks Act 1938 (repealed 31.10.1994)
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.

40 Power of Board of Trade to make rules.
(1) The Board of Trade may from time to time make such rules, prescribe such forms and generally do such things as they think expedient— (a) for regulating the practice under this Act, including the service of documents; (b) for classifying goods for the purposes of registration of trade marks; (c) for making or requiring duplicates of trade marks and other documents; (d) for securing and regulating the publishing and selling or distributing, in such manner as the Board of Trade think fit, of copies of trade marks and other documents; (e) generally, for regulating the business of the Patent Office in relation to trade marks and all things by this Act placed under the direction or control of the Registrar or of the Board of Trade. (2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3) Before making any rules under this Act, the Board of Trade shall publish notice of their intention to make the rules and of the place where copies of the draft rules may be obtained, in such manner as the Board consider most expedient so as to enable persons affected to make representations to the Board before the rules are finally settled. (4) Any rules so made shall be forthwith advertised twice in the Trade Marks Journal, and shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament, . . . (5) If either House of Parliament, within the next forty days after any rules have been so laid before it, resolves that the rules or any of them ought to be annulled, the rule or rules shall henceforth be of no effect, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder or to the making of any new rule or rules.

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.
