Propose a change

Constitutional Reform Act 2005

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

128 Report and recommendations

After section 9D of the 2002 Act insert— Report and recommendations 9E (1) The Ombudsman must prepare a report on any complaint he has investigated under section 9D. (2) The report must state— (a) what findings the Ombudsman has made; (b) whether he considers the complaint should be upheld in whole or part; (c) if he does, what if any action he recommends should be taken by the Commission or the Lord Chancellor as a result of the complaint. (3) The recommendations that may be made under subsection (2)(c) include recommendations for the payment of compensation. (4) Such a recommendation must relate to loss which appears to the Ombudsman to have been suffered by the complainant as a result of maladministration and not as a result of any failure to be appointed to an office to which the complaint related.

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.
