Propose a change

The Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2025

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.

What to do with it
As published

11 Requirement to make safe: significant hazards

(1) Paragraph (2) applies if a relevant investigation identifies relevant safety work in relation to a significant hazard that was not identified by a previous associated investigation. (2) Subject to paragraph (3), the lessor must secure that the relevant safety work is completed— (a) within the period of 5 working days beginning on the day after the day on which the relevant investigation is completed, or (b) where the lessor complies with Part 6 (temporary rehousing etc.), as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. (3) The requirement in paragraph (2) ceases to apply from such time that any of the following events occur— (a) where the relevant safety work cannot be undertaken lawfully unless the lessor obtains the consent of another person, the lessor has exhausted all reasonable endeavours to obtain such consent, (b) a subsequent associated investigation concludes that the social home is not affected by a significant hazard or emergency hazard, or (c) a subsequent associated investigation concludes that there is no relevant safety work in relation to the hazard in question.

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.
