Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Act 2010
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

15 Destruction of immobilised prohibited munitions
(1) This section applies if a warning relating to a prohibited munition has been affixed under section 13(4)(b). (2) Before the end of the first six-month period, the Secretary of State must serve a notice on— (a) any person who appears to the Secretary of State to have had possession of the prohibited munition immediately before the warning was affixed, and (b) any other person who appears to the Secretary of State to have an interest which the Secretary of State believes would be materially affected by the destruction of the prohibited munition. (3) The notice must— (a) describe the prohibited munition and state its location, (b) state that the Secretary of State proposes to secure its destruction and give the reasons for this proposal, (c) refer to the right of objection conferred by subsection (4), and (d) refer to the conditions to which the exercise of that right is subject by virtue of subsection (5) and specify a date for the purposes of that subsection. (4) A person on whom a notice is served under subsection (2) may object to the Secretary of State's proposal to secure the destruction of the prohibited munition. (5) Any objection made under subsection (4) must— (a) be made in writing to the Secretary of State before such date as is specified in the notice, and (b) state why the prohibited munition should not be destroyed. (6) The Secretary of State may, at any time during the second six-month period, decide that the prohibited munition should be destroyed, and if the Secretary of State so decides the prohibited munition may be destroyed in accordance with section 16. (7) Before reaching a decision under subsection (6) the Secretary of State must— (a) allow any person on whom a notice has been served under subsection (2) time to respond, and (b) take into account any objections to the proposed destruction of the prohibited munition (whether made in response to a notice or otherwise). (8) If a prohibited munition is destroyed in pursuance of a decision taken under subsection (6) the Secretary of State may recover from any person who had possession of the prohibited munition immediately before the warning was affixed any costs reasonably incurred by the Secretary of State in connection with the destruction. (9) For the purposes of this section— (a) the “first six-month period” is the period of six months beginning with the day after the warning was affixed, and (b) the “second six-month period” is the period of six months beginning with the day after the first six-month period ends.

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.
