After section 78 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, insert— Restriction on removal of children and their parents etc 78A (1) This section applies in a case where— (a) a child is to be removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom, and (b) an individual who— (i) is a parent of the child or has care of the child, and (ii) is living in a household in the United Kingdom with the child, is also to be removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom (a “relevant parent or carer”). (2) During the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the relevant appeal rights are exhausted— (a) the child may not be removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom; and (b) a relevant parent or carer may not be removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom if, as a result, no relevant parent or carer would remain in the United Kingdom.

(5) In this section— “child” means a person who is aged under 18; references to a person being removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom are to the person being removed or required to leave in accordance with a provision of the Immigration Acts.

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.
