Poisons Act 1972
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
2A Power to amend Schedule 1A
(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations— (a) amend Schedule 1A (whether to add, vary or remove a substance or concentration limit or make any other change), and (b) amend section 2 in consequence of any amendment made under paragraph (a). (2) The power in subsection (1) to add a concentration limit includes power to add a concentration limit in any Part of Schedule 1A (whether for an explosives precursor or a poison). (3) In determining the distribution of substances as between the various Parts of Schedule 1A, regard must be had to the desirability of restricting Parts 3 and 4 to substances that meet each of the following criteria— (a) they are in common use, or are likely to come into common use, for purposes other than the treatment of human ailments, and (b) it is reasonably necessary to include them in one of those Parts if members of the general public are to have adequate facilities for obtaining them.

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.
