A draft of this Order has been laid before Parliament and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament in accordance with section 142Z(2) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

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.
