(b) the coroner is satisfied that no purpose would be served by OFCOM giving a notice under section 101(C1) of the Online Safety Act 2023 requiring the retention of information about the use of internet services by the child who has died, because such information is of no relevance to the child’s death.

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.
