20 Furnishing of information relating to licensee’s or operator’s cover.
(1) In the case of each licensed site, the licensee shall give notice in writing to the appropriate authority forthwith upon its appearing to the licensee that claims such as are mentioned in section 19(1) made in respect of any cover period falling within the period of the licensee’s responsibility have reached a notice level. (1A) For the purposes of subsection (1), claims made in respect of a cover period reach a notice level if the aggregate amount of claims of a particular category so made reaches three-fifths of the required amount appropriate to that category of claim. (1B) In subsection (1A) references to a category of claim and the required amount are to be construed in accordance with section 19. (1C) Where the licensee has given such a notice, no payment by way of settlement of any claim in respect of the cover period in question by agreement between the licensee and the claimant shall be made except after consultation with the appropriate authority and in accordance with the terms of any direction which the appropriate authority may give to the licensee in writing with respect to any particular claim. (2) If in the case of any licensed site any cover period falling within the period of the licensee’s responsibility has ended, the licensee shall not later than 31st January in each year send to the appropriate authority in writing a statement showing the date when that cover period ended and the following particulars of any claims in respect of that cover period as at the beginning and end respectively of the last preceding calendar year, that is to say— (a) the aggregate number of claims received; (b) the aggregate number of claims established; and (c) the aggregate number and aggregate amount of claims satisfied. (3) The appropriate authority shall as soon as may be lay before each House of Parliament a copy of any notice received by the appropriate authority under subsection (1) of this section and a report (in such form as, having regard to section 16 of this Act, the appropriate authority may consider appropriate) with respect to any statements received by the appropriate authority under subsection (2) of this section. (4) Any person by whom any funds such as are mentioned in section 19(1) of this Act for the time being fall to be provided shall give to the appropriate authority not less than two months notice in writing before ceasing to keep those funds available and, notwithstanding any such notice, so far as those funds relate to nuclear matter for the time being in the course of carriage, shall not so cease while that carriage continues. (5) Subsections (1) to (4) apply in relation to the operator of a relevant disposal site with the following modifications— (a) as if a reference to the licensee of a site with a nuclear site licence were a reference to the operator of a relevant disposal site; (b) as if a reference to a licensed site were a reference to a relevant disposal site; (c) as if a reference to the period of a licensee’s responsibility were a reference to the period indicated by section 7B(1)(f). (5A) Subsection (4) does not apply where the operator of a relevant disposal site makes an application to the Secretary of State under section 7C(1)(a) (application for site to be excluded disposal site). (6) In this section “appropriate authority” means— (a) in relation to England and Wales and Northern Ireland, the Secretary of State; (b) in relation to Scotland, the Scottish Ministers.

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.
