Section 38 Directions as to results to be achieved 1 (1) This paragraph applies where a difference is referred under section 38(3) to arbitration. (2) The parties must notify the Secretary of State of the referral without delay after the commencement of the arbitral proceedings. (3) The Secretary of State may, on request or otherwise, direct the arbitrator as to results that are to be achieved by the agreement for which terms are to be determined by the arbitration.

(5) A request for a direction under this paragraph may be made by the arbitrator (as well as by a party). (6) For the purpose of determining whether or not the arbitrator has to comply with a direction under this paragraph, the rule is that the arbitrator must comply with the direction in determining terms of the agreement if the direction— (a) is relevant to the determination of those terms, and (b) is given to the arbitrator before the award determining those terms is made. (7) For the purpose of determining what the arbitrator has to do to comply with a direction under this paragraph, the rule is that the arbitrator must carry out the function of determining terms of the agreement so as to secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the results concerned are achieved by the agreement. Directions as to consolidation and grouping of proceedings 2 (1) The Secretary of State may, on request or otherwise, direct— (a) that a group of proceedings is to be consolidated, or (b) that concurrent hearings are to be held in a group of proceedings.

(3) A request for a direction under this paragraph may be made by the arbitrator or any of the arbitrators (as well as by a party). (4) A direction under this paragraph must specify the terms on which the proceedings are to be consolidated or on which concurrent hearings are to be held.

(6) For the purposes of this paragraph— (a) “section 38(3) proceedings” means proceedings on arbitration of a difference referred under section 38(3), and (b) arbitral proceedings are “related” to section 38(3) proceedings if— (i) the arbitral proceedings are not section 38(3) proceedings, (ii) at least one of the parties to the arbitral proceedings is also a party to the section 38(3) proceedings, and (iii) the Secretary of State considers that the subject-matter of the arbitral proceedings is connected with the subject-matter of the section 38(3) proceedings.

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.
