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

5 Applications for abolition of wages councils

(1) An application such as is mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section 4 above may be made to the Secretary of State either— (a) by a joint industrial council, conciliation board or other similar body constituted by organisations of workers and organisations of employers which represent respectively substantial proportions of the workers and employers with respect to whom that wages council operates; or (b) jointly by organisations of workers and organisations of employers which represent respectively substantial proportions of the workers and employers aforesaid ; or (c) by any organisation of workers which represents a substantial proportion of the workers with respect to whom that wages council operates. (2) The grounds on which any such application may be made are that the existence of a wages council is no longer necessary for the purpose of maintaining a reasonable standard of remuneration for the workers with respect to whom that wages council operates.

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.
