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.

What to do with it
As published

75 Voluntary winding up

(1) A company which is a universal service provider has no power to pass a resolution for voluntary winding up without the permission of the court. (2) Permission may be granted by the court only on an application made by the company. (3) The court is not to grant permission unless— (a) notice of the application has been served on the Secretary of State and OFCOM, and (b) a period of at least 14 days has elapsed since the service of the last of those notices to be served. (4) If an application for a postal administration order in relation to the company is made to the court in accordance with section 70(1) after an application for permission under this section has been made and before it is granted, the court may exercise its powers under section 71 (instead of granting permission). (5) In this section “a resolution for voluntary winding up” has the same meaning as in the 1986 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.
