(7) Where an order ceases to have effect in accordance with subsection (6), that does not— (a) affect anything previously done in reliance on the order; or (b) prevent the making of a new order to the same or similar effect. (8) In this section— “40 days” means 40 days computed as provided for in section 7(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1946; “Secretary of State's TPIM powers” means— the power to impose a TPIM notice under section 2; the power to extend a TPIM notice under section 5(2); the power to vary a TPIM notice under section 12(1)(c) or (1A); and the power to revive a TPIM notice under section 13(6) to (9).

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.
