Propose a change

Financial Services and Markets Act 2000

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.

As published

142Z Affirmative procedure in relation to certain orders under Part 9B

(1) This section applies to an order containing provision made under any of the following provisions of this Part— (a) section 142A(2)(b); (b) section 142B(2) or (5); (c) section 142C; (d) section 142D(2) or (4); (e) section 142E; (f) section 142I; (g) section 142Y. (2) No order to which this section applies may be made unless— (a) a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House, or (b) subsection (4) applies. (3) Subsection (4) applies if an order under 142D(4) or 142E contains a statement that the Treasury are of the opinion that, by reason of urgency, it is necessary to make the order without a draft being so laid and approved. (4) Where this subsection applies the order— (a) must be laid before Parliament after being made, and (b) ceases to have effect at the end of the relevant period unless before the end of that period the order is approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament (but without that affecting anything done under the order or the power to make a new order). (5) The “relevant period” is a period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the order is made. (6) In calculating the relevant period no account is to be taken of any time during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which either House is adjourned for more than 4 days.

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.
