Propose a change

Town and Country Planning Act 1968

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

23 Appointment of another person to determine an appeal.

(1) Where the Minister has appointed a person to determine an appeal under section 21 above, the Minister may, at any time before the determination of the appeal, appoint another person to determine it instead of the first-mentioned person. (2) If before the appointment of a person under this section to determine an appeal, the Minister had with reference to the person previously appointed, asked the question referred to in section 21(6) above, the question need not be asked again with reference to the person appointed under this section and any answers to the question shall be treated as given with reference to him, but— (a) the consideration of the appeal or any inquiry or other hearing in connection therewith, if already begun, shall be begun afresh ; and (b) it shall not be necessary to afford any person an opportunity of making fresh representations or modifying or withdrawing any representations already made.

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.
