Propose a change

Postal Services Act 2000

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

56 Complaints referred to the Council.

(1) Where a matter which relates to the provision of relevant postal services is referred to the Council by or on behalf of a user of such services and— (a) the matter has previously been the subject of a complaint to the person providing the service concerned, (b) the complaint has not been satisfactorily resolved, and (c) the matter does not appear to the Council to be of a frivolous or vexatious nature, the Council shall investigate the matter as it considers appropriate. (2) Where, as the result of any such investigation, the Council considers that— (a) a condition of a licence under Part II may have been contravened, (b) the matter referred, or any other matter, is a referable matter, or (c) it is appropriate to do so, it shall, as soon as practicable, refer the matter concerned to the Commission for its consideration. (3) The Council and the Commission shall from time to time agree the descriptions of matters which are to be referred to the Commission and, for the purposes of subsection (2)(b), a matter is a “referable matter” if it is of a description for the time being so agreed.

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.
