As published

74A Additional parking charges: reserve powers of Secretary of State.

(1) Where the Mayor of London— (a) on a submission under subsection (4) of section 74 above, approves any levels of additional parking charges, or (b) sets any such levels under subsection (5) of that section, he shall notify the Secretary of State of the levels of charges so approved or set. (2) Where notification of any levels of charges is required to be given under subsection (1) above, the levels of charges shall not come into force until after the expiration of— (a) the period of one month beginning with the day on which the notification is given, or (b) such shorter period as the Secretary of State may allow. (3) If, before the expiration of that period, the Secretary of State gives notice to the Mayor of London that he objects to the levels of charges on the grounds that some or all of them are or may be excessive, those levels of charges shall not come into force unless and until the objection has been withdrawn. (4) If, at any time before the levels of charges required to be notified under subsection (1) above to the Secretary of State have come into force, the Secretary of State considers that some or all of them are excessive, he may make regulations setting the levels of charges. (5) Levels of charges set under subsection (4) above must be no higher than those notified under subsection (1) above. (6) Subsections (7) and (8) of section 74 above shall apply in relation to levels of charges set under subsection (4) above as if those levels of charges had been set in accordance with the provisions of that section— (a) by Transport for London, so far as relating to GLA roads or trunk roads, or (b) by the London local authorities, so far as relating to other roads. (7) Regulations under subsection (4) above are without prejudice to the duties imposed on Transport for London and the London local authorities by section 74(1) above; but where the Secretary of State makes any such regulations— (a) Transport for London, if the regulations relate to GLA roads or trunk roads, or (b) the London local authorities, if the regulations relate to other roads, must not make any further submission to the Mayor of London under section 74(4) above until after the expiration of the period of twelve months beginning with the day on which the regulations are made.

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.
