Propose a change

The Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025

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

4 Requirements of the marking notice

(1) The marking notice must be in writing and must be published in the Gazette. (2) The marking notice must specify the date from which such goods must bear an individual marking, when first placed on the market in Great Britain. (3) Before a marking notice is published under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State must make a statement explaining why the decision to issue the marking notice was justified. (4) If the Secretary of State fails to make a statement required by paragraph (3) before the marking notice is published, they must make a statement explaining why they failed to do so. (5) A statement under paragraph (3) or (4) must be made in writing and be published in such manner as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.

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.
