Sections 18(4), 115.
1 In this Schedule—
“converted tenancy” means a tenancy which has become a regulated tenancy by virtue of any of the enactments mentioned in section 18A of this Act.
“the conversion” means the time when the tenancy became a regulated tenancy.
2 In relation to any rental period beginning after the conversion, sections 45 to 47 of this Act shall have effect as if references therein to the last contractual period were references to the last rental period beginning before the conversion.
3—4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
5 Section 5(1) of this Act shall not apply to the converted tenancy after the conversion.
6 Section 70 of this Act shall apply in relation to the converted tenancy as if the references in subsection (3) of that section to the tenant under the regulated tenancy included references to the tenant under the tenancy before the conversion.
7 None of the enactments mentioned in section 18A of this Act shall be taken as affecting any court proceedings, instituted under this Act (or, as the case may be, the Rent Act 1968) before the conversion, which may affect the recoverable rent before the conversion, or the rent under the regulated tenancy after the conversion so far as that depends on the previous rent.
8 Any court order in any proceedings to which paragraph 7 above applies which is made after the conversion may exclude from the effect of the order rent for any rental period beginning before the conversion, or for any later rental period beginning before the making of the order.
9 Any right conferred on a tenant by section 38 of, or paragraph 6(4) of Schedule 6 to, this Act to recover any amount by deducting it from rent shall be exercisable by deducting it from rent for any rental period beginning after the conversion to the same extent as the right would have been exercisable if the conversion had not taken place.

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.
