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.

What to do with it
As published

29 Welsh inquiries

(1) This section applies to an inquiry for which the Welsh Ministers are responsible. (2) The terms of reference of the inquiry must not require it to determine any fact or to make any recommendation that is not wholly or primarily concerned with a Welsh matter. (3) The powers conferred by section 21 are exercisable only— (a) in respect of evidence, documents or other things that are wholly or primarily concerned with a Welsh matter, or (b) for the purpose of inquiring into something that is wholly or primarily a Welsh matter. (4) Those powers are not exercisable so as to require any evidence, document or other thing to be given, produced or provided by or on behalf of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, the Scottish Ministers or a Northern Ireland Minister. (5) In this section “Welsh matter” means a matter in relation to which the Welsh Ministers have functions.

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.
