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
31 The relevant part of the United Kingdom and the applicable rules
(1) The Minister responsible for an inquiry must specify whether the relevant part of the United Kingdom in relation to the inquiry is— (a) England and Wales, (b) Scotland, or (c) Northern Ireland. (2) The Ministers responsible for an inquiry that— (a) is one to which section 33 applies, and (b) would (but for this subsection) be subject to more than one set of rules, must specify which of those sets, or what combination of rules from more than one of those sets, is to apply. (3) In subsection (2) “set of rules” means the rules made by virtue of a particular paragraph of section 41(3). (4) If in the case of an inquiry (other than one to which section 33 applies) for which a United Kingdom Minister is responsible— (a) the Minister specifies that the relevant part of the United Kingdom is Scotland, (b) the Minister specifies that the relevant part of the United Kingdom is England and Wales, and the inquiry is expected to be held wholly or partly in Wales, or (c) the Minister specifies that the relevant part of the United Kingdom is Northern Ireland, he may if he thinks fit specify that some or all of the rules that are to apply are rules made by virtue of paragraph (b), (c) or (d) (as appropriate) of section 41(3). (5) The relevant part of the United Kingdom and, where subsection (2) or (4) applies, the applicable rules must be specified no later than the setting-up date or, as the case may be, the date of conversion.

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.
