Trade Marks (Amendment) Act 1984 (repealed 31.10.1994)
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.

(5) The Act of 1938 shall be further amended as follows— (a) in section 2 (no action for infringement of unregistered mark) the words “goods as the goods of another person” shall be omitted ; (b) in section 68 (interpretation), after subsection (2) there shall be inserted the following subsections— (2A) For the purposes of this Act goods and services are associated with each other if it is likely that those goods might be sold or otherwise traded in those services might be provided by the same business and so with descriptions of goods and descriptions of services. (2B) References in this Act to a near resemblance of marks are references to a resemblance so near as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion. . (6) In the application by virtue of subsection (1) above of section 7 of the Act of 1938 (restrictions on exclusive right conferred by registration) the references in that section to the use of the mark by a person’s predecessors in title shall, as respects use before this Act comes into force, be construed as references to use by any predecessor of his in business. (7) In this Act “service mark” means a mark (including a device, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, or any combination thereof) used or proposed to be used in relation to services for the purpose of indicating, or so as to indicate, that a particular person is connected, in the course of business, with the provision of those services, whether with or without any indication of the identity of that person.

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.
