Propose a change

Crown Proceedings Act 1947

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

46 Provisions as to arrestment.

Arrestment in the hands of the Crown or of a Government department or of any officer of the Crown as such shall be competent in any case where arrestment in the hands of a subject would have been competent: Provided that nothing in the foregoing provisions shall warrant the arrestment of:— (a) any earnings payable to any officer of the Crown as such except as provided by section 2 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1966; or (b) any money which is subject to the provisions of any enactment prohibiting or restricting assignation or charging or taking in execution; or (c) any money payable by the Crown to any person on account of a deposit in the National Savings Bank.

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.
