Propose a change

The Port of Southampton Harbour Revision Order 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

10 Enforcement of special directions

(1) Without limiting the use of any other remedy available to the harbour master, if a special direction in respect of or applying to a vessel is not complied with within a reasonable time, the harbour master may put persons on board the vessel to carry out the direction or may otherwise cause the vessel to be handled in accordance with the direction. (2) If there is no one on board a vessel to comply with a special direction, the harbour master may proceed as if the direction had been given and not complied with, provided that the powers of this paragraph shall not be exercised— (a) in relation to a vessel other than a lighter unless, after reasonable inquiry has been made, the master cannot be found; or (b) in relation to a lighter unless it is obstructing or interfering with navigation. (3) Expenses incurred by A.B. Ports in the exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1) are to be recoverable by it as if it were a charge of A.B. Ports in respect of the vessel.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.
