(1B) But the maximum amount which may be paid to a person under subsection (1A) in respect of an interest in land is £75,000.

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.
