(2) The regulations may in particular make provision about— (a) when information or a copy of a document must be given; (b) the way in which information or copy of a document must be given; (c) the form in which information must be given (and may in particular require that the information is given in an accessible form); (d) the standards in accordance with which information or a copy of a document must be given.

(6) Where the regulations provide that any information or document must be given to the regulator, they may make provision about the admissibility in any criminal proceedings of the information or document.

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.
