Propose a change

The Seafarers (Wages and Working Conditions) Regulations 2026

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

19 Hours spent training

(1) In this Chapter, references to “training” include hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is— (a) attending at a place other than the non-qualifying seafarer’s normal place of work, when the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working, for the purpose of receiving training that has been approved by the employer or operator; (b) travelling, when the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working, between a place of work and a place where the non-qualifying seafarer receives such training; (c) receiving such training at the non-qualifying seafarer’s normal place of work. (2) In paragraph (1), hours when the non-qualifying seafarer would “otherwise be working” include any hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is attending at a place or travelling where it is uncertain whether the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working because the non-qualifying seafarer’s hours of work vary either as to their length or in respect of the time at which they are performed.

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.
