(2) The provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (1)(b) includes, in particular, provision requiring relevant persons to make available books, documents and other records for inspection by or on behalf of an officer of Revenue and Customs. (3) The regulations may— (a) make different provision for different cases or circumstances, and (b) contain incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision. (4) In this section— “prescribed” means prescribed by the regulations, “qualifying policy” includes a policy which would be a qualifying policy apart from— paragraph A1(2), B1(2), B2(2) or B3(3) of Schedule 15, or paragraph 17(2)(za) of that Schedule (including as applied by paragraph 18), and “relevant person” means a person— who issues, or has issued, qualifying policies, or who is, or has been, a relevant transferee in relation to qualifying policies. (5) For the purposes of this section a person (“X”) is at any time a “relevant transferee” in relation to a qualifying policy if the obligations under the policy of its issuer are at that time the obligations of X as a result of there having been a transfer to X of the whole or any part of a business previously carried on by the issuer.

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.
