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Petroleum and Submarine Pipe-lines Act 1975 (repealed 15/02/1999)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

43 Payments in respect of Burmah Oil Co. Ltd.

(1) The Secretary of State may, out of money provided by Parliament, pay to the Bank of England (hereafter in this section referred to as “the Bank”) such sums, not exceeding in the aggregate £350 million, as may be needed, in pursuance of arrangements made between the Secretary of State and the Bank, for the purpose of making good any losses sustained by the Bank in consequence of guarantees given by the Bank in respect of loans to the Burmah Oil Company Limited or any of that Company’s subsidiaries or in consequence of loans made by the Bank to that Company or any of its subsidiaries.

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.
