What to do with it
As published

251 Powers to make consequential amendments etc

(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations make such provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate in consequence of this Act. (2) The power in section 419(1) of the Sentencing Act 2020 (power to state effect of commencement provisions) applies in relation to any amendment or repeal made by or under this Act of that Act as it applies in relation to an amendment or repeal made by Schedule 22 to that Act. (3) The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make such provision within devolved competence as they consider appropriate in consequence of— (a) sections 48 and 49; (b) section 64(1) and Schedule 7; (c) Chapter 2 of Part 4; (d) sections 74 and 76; (e) section 105; (f) Chapter 5 of Part 5; (g) section 141; (h) section 189(3) and Schedule 23. For this purpose, provision is “within devolved competence” if it would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if it were contained in an Act of that Parliament. (4) The Department of Justice in Northern Ireland may by regulations make such transferred provision as it considers appropriate in consequence of— (a) section 34; (b) sections 39 to 41; (c) section 43; (d) sections 48 and 49; (e) section 64(2) and Schedule 8; (f) Chapter 2 of Part 4; (g) section 73; (h) section 104; (i) Chapter 5 of Part 5; (j) sections 134 to 136; (k) section 138; (l) section 189(2) and Schedule 22. (5) In subsection (4) “transferred provision” means provision that— (a) would be within the legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly if it were contained in an Act of that Assembly, and (b) would not, if it were contained in a Bill in the Northern Ireland Assembly, result in the Bill requiring the consent of the Secretary of State under section 8 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998. (6) Regulations under this section may amend, repeal or revoke legislation passed or made before, or in the same Session as, this Act.

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.
