Propose a change

Pensions (Increase) Act 1971

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

10 Overseas government pensions (India, Pakistan and Burma).

The Secretary of State, with the approval of the Minister for the Civil Service, may by regulations direct that, in relation to any of the following pensions, that is to say,— (a) any of the pensions specified in Schedule 4 to this Act; and (b) any pension of which the cost is to be reimbursed in whole or in part by Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom to the Government of India, Pakistan or Burma under arrangements made in pursuance of section 1 of the Overseas Aid Act 1966, or in respect of which the Secretary of State determines, with the consent of the Minister, that Her Majesty’s Government would be prepared to enter into arrangements for the cost to be so reimbursed; the provisions of Part I of this Act shall, with such modifications, adaptations and exceptions as may be specified in the regulations, apply as if the pension were an official pension specified in Part I of Schedule 2.

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.
