Shops (Early Closing Days) Act 1965 (repealed 1.12.1994)
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.
Change 1
4 Consequential amendments, etc.
(1) The following provisions of the Shops Act 1950 (being provisions made redundant by section 1 of this Act) are hereby repealed, that is to say— (a) the proviso to section 3 (which prevents a local authority who have fixed the early closing day for a shop from fixing the same day as the late day for the shop); (b) in paragraph (a) of the proviso to section 12 (which relates to trading elsewhere than in shops) the words “as respects any day other than the weekly half-holiday”; (c) sections 53(13)(b), 62(2)(b) and 67(4)(b)(which modify as respects certain shops provisions repealed by section I of this Act); and (d) in paragraph (a) of the proviso to section 54(2) (which section enables certain shops in London to be open until two o’clock in the afternoon on Sundays on codition that they are kept closed on a week day specified in pursuance of that section and, among other things, provides that the week day so specified shall be a day other than that fixed by the local authority as the early closing day) the words “the closing day so fixed shall be a day other than the day fixed for the weekly half-holiday by an order made under section one of this Act” and the words “required by the provisions of that section”. (2) Nothing in the said section 12 shall be construed as requiring any person to comply with the provisions relating to early closing days of the Shops Act 1950 or this Act; and, notwithstanding anything in section 1(3) of this Act, the occupier of a shop shall be entitled to alter the early closing day for the shop if it is necessary to do so in order to comply with paragraph (a) of the proviso to the said section 54(2) (which, as amended by paragraph (d) of the foregoing subsection, provides that the week day mentioned in the latter paragraph shall not be used as the early closing day for shops of the category there mentioned).

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.
