Propose a change

Inquiries Act 2005

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

(2) The date specified in a notice under subsection (1)(b) may not be earlier than the date on which the notice is sent. (3) Before exercising his power under subsection (1)(b) the Minister must consult the chairman. (4) Where the Minister gives a notice under subsection (1)(b) he must— (a) set out in the notice his reasons for bringing the inquiry to an end; (b) lay a copy of the notice, as soon as is reasonably practicable, before the relevant Parliament or Assembly.

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.
