Propose a change

Enterprise Act 2002

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

242 Criminal proceedings

(1) A public authority which holds information to which section 237 applies may disclose that information to any person— (a) in connection with the investigation of any criminal offence in any part of the United Kingdom; (b) for the purposes of any criminal proceedings there; (c) for the purpose of any decision whether to start or bring to an end such an investigation or proceedings. (2) Information disclosed under this section must not be used by the person to whom it is disclosed for any purpose other than that for which it is disclosed. (3) A public authority must not make a disclosure under this section unless it is satisfied that the making of the disclosure is proportionate to what is sought to be achieved by it.

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.
