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
7 The refund
(1) The refund in respect of a refund item is an amount equal to the greater of— (a) the deposit level on the date on which the refund item is returned, or (b) the deposit level on the date on which the refund item was supplied as part of the deposit scheme. (2) The references in paragraph (1) to the deposit level are to be read as the deposit level for a deposit item which is comparable to the refund item. (3) For the purposes of this regulation, a deposit item is comparable to a refund item if the container of the deposit item— (a) is made wholly or mainly from the same in-scope material as the refund item, (b) is of the same size as the refund item, and (c) is offered for supply to consumers in a scheme multipack, if the refund item was supplied to a scheme consumer 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.

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.
