Propose a change

Higher Education and Research Act 2017

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

What to do with it
As published

106 Studies for improving economy, efficiency and effectiveness

(1) UKRI may arrange for studies falling within subsection (2) to be promoted or carried out by a person. (2) Studies fall within this subsection if they are designed to improve economy, efficiency and effectiveness in carrying out activities in respect of which UKRI gives financial support. (3) A person promoting or carrying out such studies at the request of UKRI (“a researcher”) may require the person carrying out the activities— (a) to provide the researcher or an authorised person with such information as the researcher may reasonably require for that purpose, and (b) to make available for inspection, to the researcher or an authorised person, their accounts and such other documents as the researcher may reasonably require for that purpose. (4) “Authorised person” means a person authorised by the researcher.

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.
