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
98 Transfer of company’s assets to unit trust which later comes within section 96 or 97.
(1) Where section 267 of the Taxes Act 1970 (roll-over for assets transferred on company reconstruction or amalgamation) has applied on the transfer of a company’s business (in whole or in part) to a unit trust scheme or a company which at the time of the transfer was not such a unit trust scheme or investment trust as is mentioned in subsection (3) of that section, then if—
(a) at any time after the transfer—
(i) the unit trust scheme becomes in a year of assessment one which is such as is mentioned in that subsection; or
(ii) the company becomes for an accounting period an investment trust such as is there mentioned, and
(b) at the beginning of that year of assessment or accounting period the unit trust scheme or company still owns any of the assets of the business transferred,
the unit trust scheme or company shall be treated for all the purposes of this Act as if immediately after the transfer it had sold, and immediately re-acquired, the assets referred to in paragraph (b) above at their market value at that time.
(2) Notwithstanding any limitation on the time for making assessments, an assessment to corporation tax chargeable in consequence of subsection (1) above may be made at any time within six years after the end of the year of assessment or accounting period referred to in subsection (1) above, and where under this section a unit trust scheme or company is to be treated as having disposed of, and re-acquired, an asset of a business, all such recomputations of liability in respect of other disposals and all such adjustments of tax, whether by way of assessment or by way of discharge or repayment of tax, as may be required in consequence of the provisions of this section shall be carried out.

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.
