Propose a change

Petroleum and Submarine Pipe-lines Act 1975 (repealed 15/02/1999)

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

22 Compulsory increases in capacity etc. of pipe-lines.

(1) If in the case of a controlled pipe-line it appears to the Secretary of State, on the application of a person other than the owner of the pipe-line— (a) that the capacity of the pipe-line can and should be increased by modifying apparatus and works associated with the pipe-line; or (b) that the pipe-line can and should be modified by installing in it a junction through which another pipe-line may be connected to the pipe-line, then, subject to subsection (5) of the following section, the Secretary of State may, after giving to the owner of the pipe-line an opportunity of being heard about the matter, serve on the owner and the applicant a notice— (i) specifying the modifications . . . which the Secretary of State considers should be made in consequence of the application; (ii) specifying the sums or the method of determining the sums which the Secretary of State considers should be paid to the owner by the applicant for the purpose of defraying the cost of the modifications; (iii) requiring the applicant to make, within a period specified in that behalf in the notice, arrangements which the Secretary of State considers appropriate for the purpose of securing that those sums will be paid to the owner if he carries out the modifications or satisfies the Secretary of State that he will carry them out; (iv) requiring the owner, if the applicant makes those arrangements within the period aforesaid, to carry out the modifications within a period specified in that behalf in the notice; and (v) authorising the owner, if he satisfies the Secretary of State that he has carried out or will carry out the modifications, to recover those sums from the applicant. (2) References in the preceding subsection to modifications include, in the case of modifications of any apparatus and works, references to changes in, substitutions for and additions to the apparatus and works. (3) It is hereby declared that for the purposes of section 20(1) of this Act a notice in pursuance of this section requiring a person to carry out modifications authorises him to carry out the modifications; but nothing in Schedule 4 to this Act shall apply to such a notice.

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.
