Propose a change

Laying of Documents before Parliament (Interpretation) Act 1948

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

2 Statutory Instruments Act 1946, s.4: notification during vacancy of office of Speaker of either House

It is hereby declared that the requirement imposed by subsection (1) of section four of the Statutory Instruments Act 1946, to send notification forthwith to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Speaker of the House of Lords where a statutory instrument required to be laid before Parliament has been made so as to come into operation before it has been so laid, is to be treated as having been complied with, in a case in which notification forthwith is impossible by reason of a vacancy for the time being in the office of the Speaker of the House of Commons or the Speaker of the House of Lords , whether occurring by death, resignation, dissolution of Parliament or otherwise, if the notification is sent to him immediately after the vacancy is filled.

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.
