Propose a change

Parliamentary And Other Pensions And Salaries Act 1976

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

2 Power to increase contributions from office holders.

In section 4 of the Act of 1972 (contributions from participants in office-holders’ scheme) after subsection (3) there shall be inserted the following subsection— (3A) Her Majesty may from time to time by Order in Council direct that any salary specified in the Order shall be regarded for the purposes of subsection (2) or, as the case may be, subsection (3) of this section as being payable at such higher rate as may be so specified; but no recommendation shall be made to Her Majesty to make an Order under this subsection unless a draft of the Order has been approved by resolution of each House of Parliament or, if it relates only to salaries payable in respect of the offices of Chairman of Ways and Means and Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means, by resolution of the House of Commons. An Order in Council made under this subsection may be varied or revoked by a subsequent Order so made.

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.
