Harbours Act 1964
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
15A Ministers’ powers to make orders about port appointments.
(1) Each of the Ministers may, subject to subsection (2) of this section, by order vary the constitution of a harbour authority so far as it provides for the appointment by him of any member or members of the authority— (a) so as to abolish the power of appointment (except where the power is to appoint the chairman of the authority); or (b) so as to provide for the power of appointment to be exercised by such other person or persons as may be specified in the order. (2) No order under this section may be made by the Secretary of State with respect to the constitution of a harbour authority if under the constitution all the members of the authority, apart from ex officio and co-opted members, are appointed by him. (3) An order under this section— (a) may relate to more than one harbour authority; and (b) may contain such supplementary, incidental and consequential provisions as appear to the Minister making the order to be necessary or expedient; and where the constitution of a harbour authority provides for the appointment by the Minister making the order of more than one member, an order under this section may make different provision for each member falling to be so appointed and may make provision for some only of those members. (4) A Minister proposing to make an order under this section shall before doing so consult the harbour authority concerned and such other persons affected, or bodies representative of such persons, as he thinks fit. (5) In this section “the Ministers” means the Secretary of State and the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

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.
