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.
Change 1
As published
83 Premiums on conversion of securities.
(1) This section applies where, on a conversion of securities, a person receives, or becomes entitled to receive, any sum of money (in this section called “the premium”) which is by way of consideration (in addition to his new holding) for the disposal of the converted securities.
(2) If the inspector is satisfied that the premium is small, as compared with the value of the converted securities, and so directs—
(a) receipt of the premium shall not be treated for the purposes of this Act as a disposal of part of the converted securities, and
(b) the premium shall be deducted from any expenditure allowable under this Act as a deduction in computing a gain or loss on the disposal of the new holding by the person receiving or becoming entitled to receive the premium.
(3) A person who is dissatisfied with the refusal of the inspector to give a direction under subsection (2) above may appeal to the Commissioners having jurisdiction on an appeal against an assessment to tax in respect of a gain to him on a disposal of the securities.
(4) Where the allowable expenditure is less than the premium (or is nil)—
(a) subsections (2) and (3) above shall not apply, and
(b) if the recipient so elects (and there is any allowable expenditure)—
(i) the amount of the premium shall be reduced by the amount of the allowable expenditure, and
(ii) none of that expenditure shall be allowable as a deduction in computing a gain accruing on the occasion of the conversion, or on any subsequent occasion.
(5) In subsection (4) above “allowable expenditure” means expenditure which immediately before the conversion was attributable to the converted securities under paragraph (a) and (b) of section 32(1) above.

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.
