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.

What to do with it
As published

312V Memorandum of understanding

(1) The relevant regulators must prepare and maintain a memorandum which describes in general terms— (a) the role of the relevant regulators in relation to the exercise of functions conferred by or under this Chapter, and (b) how they intend to comply with section 312U in relation to the exercise of such functions. (2) The relevant regulators must review the memorandum at least once in each calendar year. (3) The relevant regulators may revise a memorandum under this section. (4) The relevant regulators must give the Treasury a copy of the memorandum and any revised memorandum. (5) The Treasury must lay before Parliament a copy of any document received by them under this section. (6) The relevant regulators must ensure that the memorandum as in force for the time being is published in the way appearing to them to be best calculated to bring it to the attention of the public. (7) The memorandum need not relate to any aspect of compliance with section 312U if the relevant regulators consider— (a) that publication of information about that aspect would be against the public interest, or (b) that aspect is a technical or operational matter not affecting the public.

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.
