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
40 Expenses of witnesses etc
(1) The chairman may award reasonable amounts to a person— (a) by way of compensation for loss of time, or (b) in respect of expenses properly incurred, or to be incurred, in attending, or otherwise in relation to, the inquiry. (2) The power to make an award under this section includes power, where the chairman considers it appropriate, to award amounts in respect of legal representation. (3) A person is eligible for an award under this section only if he is— (a) a person attending the inquiry to give evidence or to produce any document or other thing, or (b) a person who, in the opinion of the chairman, has such a particular interest in the proceedings or outcome of the inquiry as to justify such an award. (4) The power to make an award under this section is subject to such conditions or qualifications as may be determined by the Minister and notified by him to the chairman.

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.
