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

What to do with it
As published

7 Further appointments to inquiry panel

(1) The Minister may at any time (whether before the setting-up date or during the course of the inquiry) appoint a member to the inquiry panel— (a) to fill a vacancy that has arisen in the panel (including a vacancy in the position of chairman), or (b) to increase the number of members of the panel. (2) The power to appoint a member under subsection (1)(b) is exercisable only— (a) in accordance with a proposal under section 5(1)(b)(ii), or (b) with the consent of the chairman. (3) The power to appoint a replacement chairman may be exercised by appointing a person who is already a member of the inquiry panel.

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.
