Defence Reform Act 2014
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.

(1) Single source contract regulations must make provision about determining the price payable under a qualifying defence contract , and, where the contract is divided into components, each component of that contract, to the primary contractor. (2) The regulations must provide for the price payable under the contract, or any component, to be determined— (a) in accordance with the formula in subsection (4), or (b) in such circumstances as may be specified in the regulations, in accordance with another method. (2A) The regulations must only specify circumstances for the purposes of subsection (2)(b) if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the factors referred to in section 13(2) may be ensured in those circumstances if another method is used. (2B) The regulations may also make provision requiring a particular method specified in the regulations to be used in certain of the circumstances specified for the purposes of subsection (2)(b). (3) The regulations must provide that where the Secretary of State and the primary contractor propose to amend the contract or each amended component of that contract, in a way that would affect the price determined by virtue of subsection (2) or this subsection— (a) the price payable under the amended contract must be re-determined in accordance with the method applicable by virtue of subsection (2), or (b) the price payable in respect of the amendment must be determined in accordance with that method. (4) The formula is— ( CPR × AC ) + AC where— “CPR” is the contract profit rate for the contract or component (see section 17), and “AC” means the primary contractor's allowable costs under the contract or component (see section 20). (5) The regulations may provide for a determination by virtue of subsection (2) or (3) to be made at such times as may be specified in the regulations (and different times may be specified for different kinds of contract or component). (6) In this Part, “component”, in relation to a contract, means a part of the contract that is to be treated distinctly from other such parts in determining the price payable under the contract. (7) For the purposes of subsection (6), a part of a contract is to be treated distinctly if— (a) single source contract regulations contain provision to that effect, or (b) the parties to the contract agree that it should. (8) Single source contract regulations may make provision about when parts of a qualifying defence contract are or are not to be treated distinctly from other parts of the same contract.

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.
