Town Development Act 1952

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.

What to do with it
As published

10 Contributions to authorities participating from the Exchequer and local authorities benefited.

(1) The Minister may, in pursuance of undertakings in that behalf given by him with the approval of the Treasury, make to an authority participating in development to which section two of this Act applies contributions towards expenses incurred or to be incurred by them in relation to the development— (a) in the case of the council of the county in which the development is carried out, or of a county in which part of it is carried out, of any of the kinds specified in subsection (2) of that section, or (b) in the case of any other authority, of any of the kinds specified in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of the said subsection (2), or of a kind specified in paragraph (b) thereof so far as incurred for the purposes of an operation mentioned in paragraph (d) thereof or in acquiring land in substitution for land used for such purposes. (2) Section three of this Act shall have effect in relation to contributions under the preceding subsection with the substitution of references to the preceding subsection for references in the said section three to section two of this Act and of references to an authority participating for references in the said section three to such a council as is therein mentioned. (3) Where the council of a . . . district or London borough are satisfied that the provision of accommodation by any town development within the meaning of this Act will relieve congestion or over-population in their area, they may, in pursuance of undertakings in that behalf given by them . . . , make contributions to any authority participating in the development towards expenses incurred by them in relation to the development. A council, when giving an undertaking under this subsection, may lay down, as conditions to which payment of the contributions undertaken to be made is to be subject, such conditions as it may appear to that council to be expedient to impose for securing the intended relief from congestion or over-population.

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.
