The Merchant Shipping (Port State Control) Regulations 2026
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
6 Inspections
(1) The Secretary of State may require an inspection of a ship to which these Regulations apply in accordance with these Regulations and the Paris MOU. (2) An inspection may be an initial inspection, a more detailed inspection or an expanded inspection. (3) An inspector must, when exercising functions in respect of a ship below 500 gross tonnage— (a) have regard to Annex 1 to the Paris MOU, (b) to the extent a Convention applies to the ship, apply the requirements of that Convention, and (c) to the extent a Convention does not apply to the ship, take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the ship is not clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment. (4) An inspection in the United Kingdom of a ship, while not in a port, may be considered an inspection for the purposes of these Regulations.

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.
