Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971 (Repealed 1.9.1994)
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.
Change 1
13 Temporary licences.
(1) Where an application is made for a vehicle licence for any period . . . , the Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, instead of issuing forthwith a vehicle licence for that period— (a) issue a vehicle licence (in this Act referred to as a “temporary licence”) for fourteen days or such other period as may be prescribed and having effect from such day as may be prescribed; and (b) issue from time to time a further temporary licence in respect of the vehicle to which a previous temporary licence relates. (2) Nothing in this section shall affect the amount of any duty payable in connection with an application for a vehicle licence. (2A) Where an application for a vehicle licence is made to a body (other than a Northern Ireland department)authorised by the Secretary of State to act as his agent for the purpose of issuing licences, then, before the body issues a licence under subsection (1)(a) above, it may require the applicant to pay to it in connection with the issue a fee of £2 or such other sum as may be prescribed. (3) Where an application is made for a vehicle licence for any period and a temporary licence is issued in pursuance of the application, subsection (3)(a) of section 8 of this Act shall not apply to the first-mentioned licence if on a transfer of the relevant vehicle during the currency of the temporary licence the temporary licence is delivered with the vehicle to the transferee.

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.
