Propose a change

Wages Councils Act 1979

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

SCHEDULE 5 Transitional Provisions

Section 31. 1 The repeals effected by this Act shall not affect any right of a worker to recover sums from his employer on account of the payment to the worker of remuneration less than the statutory minimum remuneration, or the power of an officer of the Secretary of State to institute on behalf of and in the name of the worker civil proceedings for the enforcement of that right or the power of the court in such proceedings to make an order for the payment of costs by the officer. 2 A member of a wages council or central co-ordinating committee who, immediately before the commencement of this Act, is by virtue of paragraph 11(3) of Schedule 17 to the Employment Protection Act 1975 treated as having been appointed by a nominated employers' association or trade union shall continue to be so treated. 3 Any reference in any enactment or document made before the passing of the Wages Councils Act 1945 (28th March 1945), other than an enactment repealed by that Act, to a trade board shall be construed as including a reference to a wages council.

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.
