Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and International Committee of the Red Cross (Status) Act 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
2 The International Committee of the Red Cross
(1) His Majesty may by Order in Council do one or more of the following— (a) confer on the International Committee of the Red Cross (“the ICRC”) the legal capacities of a body corporate; (b) provide that the ICRC has the privileges and immunities set out in Part 1 of the Schedule, to such extent as may be specified in the Order; (c) confer the privileges and immunities set out in Part 2 of the Schedule, to such extent as may be specified in the Order, on— (i) such number of officers of the ICRC as may be so specified, being the holders (whether permanent, temporary or acting) of such high offices in the ICRC as may be so specified, and (ii) such other classes of officers and servants of the ICRC as may be so specified; (d) provide for any statutory provision specified in the Order that applies in relation to an international organisation (however defined or described) to apply in relation to the ICRC with such modifications (if any) as may be so specified; (e) provide for protected ICRC information to be exempt from any disclosure requirement imposed by— (i) an order of a court or tribunal in proceedings other than criminal proceedings, or (ii) a statutory provision or rule of law. (2) In subsection (1)(e), “protected ICRC information” means information— (a) that is held by the government of the United Kingdom, (b) that was obtained by the government from the ICRC, and (c) that is confidential. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(c), information is “confidential” while the terms on which it was obtained require it to be held in confidence or while the circumstances in which it was obtained make it reasonable for the ICRC to expect that it will be so held. (4) An exemption conferred by virtue of subsection (1)(e) does not apply to information if the ICRC— (a) has published it, or (b) has agreed to its disclosure for the purpose of the disclosure requirement in question. (5) Nothing in this section or in an Order in Council made under it affects the common law rules about the withholding of information on the grounds of public interest immunity.

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.
