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.

77 Information to be provided to data subjects
(1) In Article 13 of the UK GDPR (information to be provided where personal data is collected from the data subject)—
(a) in paragraph 4, for “shall not apply where and insofar as” substitute “do not apply to the extent that”, and
(b) at the end insert—
5. Paragraph 3 does not apply to the extent that—
(a) the controller intends to further process the personal data—
(i) for (and only for) the purposes of scientific or historical research, the purposes of archiving in the public interest or statistical purposes, and
(ii) in accordance with Article 84B, and
(b) providing the information is impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort.
6. For the purposes of paragraph 5(b), whether providing the information would involve a disproportionate effort depends on, among other things, the number of data subjects, the age of the personal data and any appropriate safeguards applied to the processing.
7. A controller relying on paragraph 5 must take appropriate measures to protect the data subject’s rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including by making the information available publicly.

(iii) omit the “or” at the end of point (c),
(iv) in point (d), omit “where”, and
(v) after that point insert—

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.
