PART I
Planning committees
1 A local planning authority may establish such planning committees as they think it expedient to establish for the efficient discharge of their functions as a local planning authority, and may authorise any such committee to exercise on their behalf any of those functions, except the power to borrow money or to levy or issue a precept for a rate.
2 A planning committee of a local planning authority may, subject to any restrictions imposed by the local planning authority.—
(a) appoint such sub-committees constituted in such manner as the committee may determine ; and
(b) authorise any such sub-committee to exercise any of the functions of the committee on their behalf.
3 A majority of every planning committee of a local planning authority shall be members of the authority, and a majority of every sub-committee of any such committee shall be members either of the local planning authority or of the councils of county districts comprised in the area of that authority.
4 Any power conferred by this Part of this Schedule to establish or appoint committees or sub-committees, or to authorise such committees or sub-committees to exercise any functions, shall include power to dissolve or alter the constitution of such committees or sub-committees, and to revoke or vary any such authorisation.
PART II

Provided that a majority of the members of any such committee shall be members of one or other of those authorities.
6 If it appears to the Minister to be expedient that a joint advisory committee of any two or more local planning authorities should be established in accordance with the last preceding paragraph, he may, after consultation with those authorities, by order establish such a committee, and any such order may—
(a) provide for the reference to the committee of such matters as may be specified in the order ;
(b) make such incidental and consequential provisions (including provision for the payment of expenses of the committee and the transfer and compensation of officers) as appear to the Minister to be expedient.

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.
