Propose a change

Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022

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

48 Disclosure of information

(1) The Secretary of State may disclose to a person any information obtained by the Secretary of State in connection with the Secretary of State’s enforcement functions if the disclosure is made for a purpose connected with an enforcement function of the Secretary of State. (2) A person may disclose any information to the Secretary of State if the disclosure is made for the purposes of enabling or assisting the Secretary of State to exercise any enforcement function. (3) A disclosure of information authorised by this Chapter does not breach— (a) any obligation of confidence owed by the person making the disclosure in relation to that information, or (b) any other restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed). (4) But nothing in this Chapter authorises either of the following— (a) the making of a disclosure which would contravene the data protection legislation (but in determining whether a disclosure would do so, the powers conferred by this Chapter are to be taken into account); (b) the making of a disclosure which is prohibited by any of Parts 1 to 7 or Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. (5) In this section “the data protection legislation” has the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 2018 (see section 3 of that Act). (6) Subsections (1) and (2) do not affect any power to disclose that exists apart from this section. (7) In Schedule 14 to the Enterprise Act 2002 (restrictions on disclosure of information: list of enactments under or by virtue of which information is obtained), at the appropriate place insert— Part 1 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022.

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.
