Propose a change

Banking Act 1987 (repealed)

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

65 Power to obtain information.

(1) If required to do so by a request in writing made by the Board, the Authority may by notice in writing served on a contributory institution require the institution, within such time and at such place as may be specified in the notice, to provide the Board with such information and to produce to it such documents, or documents of such a description, as the Board may reasonably require for the purpose of determining the contributions of the institution under this Part of this Act. (2) Subsections (4), (5), (11) and (13) of section 39 above shall have effect in relation to any requirement imposed under subsection (1) above on a UK institution or participating non-EEA institution as they have effect in relation to a requirement imposed under this section. (3) The Board may by notice in writing served on an insolvent institution or, where a person has been appointed as liquidator or administrator of such an institution, on that person, require the institution or person, at such time or times and at such place as may be specified in the notice— (a) to provide the Board with such information; and (b) to produce to the Board such documents specified in the notice, as the Board may reasonably require to enable it to carry out its functions under this Part of this Act. (4) Where, as a result of an institution being wound up, any documents have come into the possession of the Official Receiver or, in Northern Ireland, the Official Receiver for Northern Ireland, he shall permit any person duly authorised by the Board to inspect the documents for the purpose of establishing— (a) the identity of those of the institution’s depositors to whom the Board are liable to make a payment under section 58 above; and (b) the amount of the protected deposit held by each of the depositors.

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.
