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.
Change 1
34 Travelling treated as hours of time work
(1) The hours when a non-qualifying seafarer is travelling for the purposes of time work, where the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working, are treated as hours of time work unless the travelling is between— (a) the non-qualifying seafarer’s home, or a place where the non-qualifying seafarer is temporarily residing other than for the purposes of working, and (b) a place of work or a place where an assignment is carried out. (2) In paragraph (1), hours treated as hours when the non-qualifying seafarer would “otherwise be working” include— (a) hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is travelling for the purpose of carrying out assignments to be carried out at different places between which the non-qualifying seafarer is obliged to travel, and which are not places occupied by the employer or operator; (b) hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is 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.

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.
