Propose a change

Inner Urban Areas Act 1978

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

What to do with it
As published

1 Designation of districts by Secretary of State.

(1) If the Secretary of State is satisfied— (a) that special social need exists in any inner urban area in Great Britain; and (b) that the conditions which give rise to the existence of that need could be alleviated by the exercise of the powers conferred by this Act, he may by order specify any district or Welsh county or county borough which includes the whole or any part of that area as a designated district for the purposes of this Act. (2) In this Act “designated district authority”, in relation to a designated district, means the council of that district or the council of the county or region which includes that district but, in relation to a designated district which is a Welsh county or county borough, means the council of that county or county borough.

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.
