Propose a change

Child Care Act 1980 (repealed 14.10.1991)

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.

SCHEDULE 3

Section 58(2). Constitution of Appeal Tribunals 1 For the purpose of enabling appeal tribunals to be constituted as occasion may require, there shall be appointed two panels, that is to say— (a) a panel (hereinafter referred to as the “legal panel”) appointed by the Lord Chancellor, of persons who will be available to act when required as chairman of any such tribunal; and (b) a panel (hereinafter referred to as the “welfare panel”) appointed by the Lord President of the Council, of persons who will be available to act when required as members of any such tribunal. 2 (1) No person shall be qualified to be appointed to the legal panel unless he possesses such legal qualifications as the Lord Chancellor considers suitable, and no person shall be qualified to be appointed to the welfare panel unless he has had such experience in children’s welfare work as the Lord President of the Council considers suitable. (2) An officer of any government department shall be disqualified from being appointed to either of the said panels. 3 Any person appointed to be a member of either of the said panels shall hold office as such subject to such conditions as to the period of his membership and otherwise as may be determined by the Lord Chancellor or the Lord President of the Council, as the case may be. 4 Where any appeal is required to be determined by a tribunal constituted in accordance with this Schedule, the tribunal shall consist of a chairman being a member of the legal panel and two other members being members of the welfare panel, and the chairman and other members of the tribunal shall be impartial persons appointed from those panels by the Lord Chancellor and the Lord President of the Council respectively.

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.
