Overseas Development and Co-operation Act 1980 (repealed)
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
6 The International Development Association.
(1) The Secretary of State shall pay out of money provided by Parliament any sums required— (a) for making on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom— (i) contributions in accordance with any resolution of the Board of Governors of the International Development Association adopted before the coming into force of this Act; or (ii) payments in respect of any such contributions under paragraph (a) of section 2 of Article IV of the Articles of Agreement of that Association (falls in the par or foreign exchange value of currencies of members) as applied by any such resolution; and (b) for redeeming any such non-interest-bearing and non-negotiable notes or other obligations as may be issued or created by the Secretary of State and accepted by the Association in accordance with paragraph (e) of section 2 of Article II of the Articles of Agreement as applied by any such resolution. (2) If the Government of the United Kingdom becomes bound by arrangements for the making of additional payments to the Association, the Secretary of State may with the approval of the Treasury by order made by statutory instrument provide for the payment out of money provided by Parliament of any sums required— (a) for making on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom additional payments to the Association in accordance with the arrangements or under paragraph (a) of section 2 of Article IV of the Articles of Agreement, as applied by the arrangements; and (b) for redeeming any non-interest-bearing and non-negotiable notes or other obligations which may be issued or created by the Secretary of State and accepted by the Association in accordance with the arrangements or any provision of the Articles of Agreement as applied by the arrangements, and may provide for payment into the Consolidated Fund of sums received by the Government of the United Kingdom in pursuance of the Articles of Agreement as so applied.

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.
