SCHEDULE 2 Determination of aggregate non-core spending obligation
Regulation 18 Introduction 1 The aggregate non-core spending obligation for a scheme year (the “current scheme year”) must be determined in accordance with this Schedule. Interpretation 2 In this Schedule— “aggregate core spending estimate”— for scheme years 14 and 15, means the CGS estimate for the scheme year as defined in Schedule 1 to the 2022 Regulations; for any other scheme year, means the aggregate core spending estimate for the scheme year required by regulation 8 of these Regulations (including, where relevant, any update under that regulation); “core spending Part” means— in relation to scheme years 14 and 15, Part 3 of the 2022 Regulations; in any other case, Part 3 of these Regulations; “initial overall spending target” means— £92 million for scheme year 16; £92 million for scheme year 17; £92 million for scheme year 18; £93 million for scheme year 19; £93 million for scheme year 20; “preceding scheme year” means— where the current scheme year is scheme year 16, scheme year 15; in any other case, the scheme year preceding the current scheme year; “Year-2” means— where the current scheme year is scheme year 16, scheme year 14; where the current scheme year is scheme year 17, scheme year 15; in any other case, the scheme year preceding the preceding scheme year. Adjusted overall spending target 3 (1) The initial overall spending target for the current scheme year must be adjusted in accordance with this paragraph. (2) The Secretary of State must— (a) review the aggregate core spending estimate for the preceding scheme year; and (b) if it appears to the Secretary of State that the aggregate amount of prescribed rebates provided under the core spending Part in the preceding scheme year will be greater or less than the aggregate core spending estimate for that scheme year, adjust the estimate accordingly. (3) If the aggregate core spending estimate for the preceding scheme year is reduced under sub-paragraph (2)(b), the Secretary of State must increase the initial overall spending target for the current scheme year by the same amount. (4) If the aggregate core spending estimate for the preceding scheme year is increased under sub-paragraph (2)(b), the Secretary of State must reduce the initial overall spending target for the current scheme year by the same amount. (5) The Secretary of State must calculate the difference between— (a) the aggregate amount of prescribed rebates provided under the core spending Part in Year-2; and (b) the aggregate core spending estimate for Year-2 (including any subsequent adjustments to the estimate under Schedule 1 to the 2022 Regulations or this Schedule). (6) If the aggregate amount of prescribed rebates mentioned in sub-paragraph (5)(a) is greater than the aggregate core spending estimate mentioned in sub-paragraph (5)(b), the Secretary of State must reduce the initial overall spending target for the current scheme year by the difference. (7) If the aggregate amount of prescribed rebates mentioned in sub-paragraph (5)(a) is less than the aggregate core spending estimate mentioned in sub-paragraph (5)(b), the Secretary of State must increase the initial overall spending target for the current scheme year by the difference. (8) Adjustments under sub-paragraphs (6) or (7) are in addition to adjustments under sub-paragraphs (3) or (4). (9) The adjusted overall spending target for the current scheme year is the initial overall spending target for that scheme year after adjustments (if any) under this paragraph. Aggregate non-core spending obligation 4 The aggregate non-core spending obligation for the current scheme year is the adjusted overall spending target for that scheme year (see paragraph 3(9)) minus the aggregate core spending estimate for that scheme year.

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.
