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.
Change 1
3 Conditions of payment of Exchequer contributions.
(1) When giving an undertaking under the last preceding section, the Minister 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 him to be expedient to impose for securing the intended relief from congestion or over-population. (2) If the Minister is satisfied that a council to whom he has undertaken under the last preceding section to make a contribution have failed to observe any condition laid down under this section as one to which payment of the contribution was to be subject, he may withhold or postpone payment, either in whole or in part— (a) of that contribution, (b) of any other contribution which he has undertaken under the last preceding section to make to that council, and (c) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . or of any of those contributions. (3) The Minister, in exercising his power under subsection (2) of this section of withholding or postponing any payment to a council, shall have particular regard to securing that the penalty so imposed is no more than proportionate to the extent or degree of default of the council.

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.
