Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024
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
227 Misleading omissions
(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, a commercial practice involves a misleading omission if, considering the matters mentioned in subsection (3), the practice— (a) omits material information, (b) omits information which the trader is required under any other enactment to give to a consumer as part of the practice, or (c) fails to identify its commercial intent (unless it is already apparent from the context). (2) In subsection (1)(a), “material information” means information that the average consumer needs to take an informed transactional decision. (3) The matters referred to in subsection (1) are— (a) any limitations resulting from the means of communication used in the commercial practice (including limitations of space or time), and (b) any steps taken by the trader to overcome those limitations by providing information by other means. (4) In this section, references to omitting information include providing information— (a) in a way that is unclear or untimely, or (b) in such a way that the consumer is unlikely to see it.

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.
