Shops (Airports) Act 1962 (repealed 1.12.1994)

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

1 Exemption of traders at certain airports from Part I of Shops Act 1950.

(1) The provisions of Part I of the Shops Act 1950 (which relate to hours of closing) and of Part IV of that Act (which relates to Sunday trading)shall not apply— (a) to any shop at a designated airport which is situated in a part of the airport to which this Act applies, or (b) to the sale (otherwise than at a shop) of any goods at a designated airport, where the sale takes place in a part of the airport to which this Act applies, and is effected by or on behalf of a person carrying on a retail trade or business at a shop situated in such a part of the airport. (2) This Act applies to every part of a designated airport, except any part which is not ordinarily used by persons travelling by air to or from the airport; and in this Act “designated airport” means an airport designated for the purposes of this Act by an order made by the Board of Trade, as being an airport at which there appears to the Board to be a substantial amount of international passenger traffic. (3) The power conferred by subsection (2) of this section to make orders shall include power to vary or revoke any order made thereunder by a subsequent order. (4) Any power to make orders under this Act shall be exercisable by statutory instrument. (5) Expressions used in this Act and in the Shops Act 1950, have the same meanings in this Act as in that Act.

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.
