Propose a change

The Deposit Scheme for Drinks Containers (England and Northern Ireland) Regulations 2025

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.

(1) A scheme supplier must charge a customer a deposit for each deposit item which the scheme supplier supplies to the customer. (2) But a scheme supplier who supplies deposit items for immediate consumption (“IC items”) to customers at or on any mixed retail or on-sale premises may decide not to charge a deposit for IC items supplied at or on those premises (an “opt-out decision”).

(4) In this regulation “customer”, in relation to a scheme supplier, means a person to whom the scheme supplier supplies deposit items.

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.
