Propose a change

Postal Services Act 2011

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.

As published

40 Services within scope of the universal postal service

(1) A postal service is within the scope of the universal postal service if— (a) the service falls within the description of a service set out in the universal postal service order, or (b) the service would fall within the description of a service set out in that order but for the fact that— (i) in the case of a service consisting of the delivery or collection of letters or other postal packets, the delivery or collection is not made on each of the days required by section 31 (see requirements 1 and 2), (ii) the service is not provided throughout the United Kingdom, or (iii) the service is not provided at an affordable price in accordance with a public tariff which is uniform throughout the United Kingdom, or (c) in the opinion of OFCOM the service is of a kind that, from the point of view of users of postal services, could reasonably be said to be interchangeable with a service of a description set out in that order. (2) In this section any reference to a service includes a part of a service.

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.
