Railways Act 1974
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
1 Reduction in capital debt of the Railways Board.
(1) On 1st January 1975 there shall be extinguished so much of the liability of the Railways Board on that date in respect of— (a) the commencing capital debt of the Board under section 39 of the 1962 Act, and (b) the principal of money borrowed by the Board from the Secretary of State under section 19 of that Act, as is necessary to reduce that liability to £250 million.

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.
