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.
Change 1
As published
33 The amount of the additional scheme refund: supplementary provisions
(1) The deposit management organisation may determine that the overseas refund amount—
(a) is to be the same for all overseas scheme items subject to a particular specified overseas scheme, or
(b) is to be different for different overseas scheme items subject to that scheme.
(2) The deposit management organisation may, when determining or revising an overseas refund amount for an overseas scheme item, have regard to the deposit payable in connection with that item under the specified overseas scheme concerned.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), the deposit management organisation may, in particular, determine an overseas refund amount by reference to any or all of the following—
(a) the size of the container;
(b) the in-scope material from which the container is wholly or mainly made;
(c) the nature of the specified overseas scheme to which the overseas scheme item relates.
(4) But an overseas refund amount for an overseas scheme item must not in any case exceed the refund for a comparable refund item.
(5) For the purposes of paragraph (4), a refund item is “comparable” to an overseas scheme item if—
(a) it is of the same size,
(b) it is made wholly or mainly from the same in-scope material, and
(c) where the overseas scheme item is from a drink that was sold in a multipack, the refund item is from a deposit item that was supplied in a multipack.

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.
