41 Appointment of inspectors of constabulary.
(1) The Department of Justice may appoint from among Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Constabulary appointed under section 54 of the Police Act 1996 such number of inspectors of constabulary for Northern Ireland as the Department of Justice may determine. (2) The inspectors shall at least once in every year inspect and report to the Department of Justice on the efficiency and effectiveness of — (a) the Police Service of Northern Ireland; (b) the Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve; (c) the police support staff; and (d) traffic wardens. (3A) The appropriate authority may at any time require the inspectors to carry out an inspection under this section of the Police Service of Northern Ireland; and a requirement under this subsection may include a requirement for the inspection to be confined to a particular part of the Service, to particular matters or to particular activities of the Service. (3B) Where the inspectors carry out an inspection under subsection (3A), they shall send a report on that inspection to the appropriate authority. (3C) In subsections (3A) and (3B) “the appropriate authority” means, in relation to any inspection— (a) the Secretary of State, if the inspection relates (in whole or in part other than incidentally) to an excepted matter or reserved matter or to a matter in respect of which a function is conferred or imposed on the Secretary of State by or under a statutory provision; (b) otherwise, the Department of Justice; and in paragraph (a) “excepted matter” and “reserved matter” have the meanings given by section 4 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.

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.
