Pension Schemes Act 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
72 “Financial thresholds”
(1) “The financial thresholds” means— (a) the capital adequacy threshold, (b) the technical provisions threshold, (c) the protected liabilities threshold, and (d) the scheme solvency threshold. (2) “The capital adequacy threshold” is met in relation to a superfund if the total value of the assets of the scheme and the capital buffer is such that there is a very high likelihood that the liabilities of the scheme to and in respect of its members will be satisfied in full. (3) “The technical provisions threshold” is met in relation to a superfund if the total value of the assets of the scheme and the capital buffer is greater than or equal to the scheme’s technical provisions. (4) “The protected liabilities threshold” is met in relation to a superfund if the total value of the assets of the scheme and the capital buffer exceeds a specified percentage of the amount of the scheme’s protected liabilities. (5) “The scheme solvency threshold” is met in relation to a superfund on a given day if there is no material likelihood that the scheme will fail to satisfy all the liabilities to and in respect of members that it is required to satisfy during the 6 months beginning with that day. (6) In this section— “protected liabilities” has the same meaning as in Chapter 3 of Part 2 of the Pensions Act 2004 (see section 131 of that Act); “specified” means specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State; “technical provisions” has the same meaning as in section 222 of the Pensions Act 2004 (and a superfund scheme’s technical provisions are to be calculated for the purposes of this section in the same way as its technical provisions would be calculated for the purposes of that section). (7) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about how to determine whether any of the financial thresholds is met, including about— (a) how and by whom the value of the assets, liabilities or protected liabilities of the scheme, or the value of the capital buffer, is to be determined; (b) how and by whom the likelihood of something happening is to be assessed; (c) what constitutes a “very high” or “material” likelihood (including provision defining those expressions by reference to particular percentages or particular criteria). (8) Regulations under subsection (7) may confer a discretion. (9) Regulations under subsection (4) or (7) are subject to the affirmative procedure.

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.
