Ministerial and other Salaries Act 1975
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
1A Alteration of salaries.
(1) For each period of 12 months beginning with 1st April, the annual amount of any salary payable under section 1 is to be increased by the relevant percentage. (2) The relevant percentage is the average percentage by which the mid-points of the Senior Civil Service pay bands below that of permanent secretary, having effect from 1st April of the period concerned, have increased compared with the previous 1st April. (2A) But in relation to the period of 12 months beginning with 1st April 2026, the relevant percentage is— (a) the relevant percentage determined in accordance with subsection (2), or (b) if higher, the average percentage by which the mid-points of the Senior Civil Service pay bands (including that of permanent secretary), having effect from 1st April 2026, have increased compared with 1st April 2025. (3) The mid-point of a Senior Civil Service pay band is the point half way between the maximum and the minimum.

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.
