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.

SCHEDULE 7
1 (1) Where the employer’s payment is a redundancy payment, the sum referred to in section 106(2) is a sum equal to the amount of that payment.
(2) Where, in a case falling within section 106(1B), the employer’s payment is part of a redundancy payment, the sum referred to in section 106(2) is a sum equal to the amount of that part of the payment.
2 (1) Where the employer’s payment is not a redundancy payment or part of a redundancy payment, the sum referred to in section 106(2) is a sum equal to—
(a) the amount of the employers’ payment, or
(b) the amount of the relevant redundancy payment, whichever is less.
(2) The reference in sub-paragraph (1)(b) to the amount of the relevant redundancy payment is a reference to the amount of the redundancy payment which the employer would have been liable to pay to the employee if—
(a) the order in force in respect of the agreement as mentioned in section 106(1A)(b) had not been made;
(b) the circumstances in which the employer’s payment is payable had been such that the employer was liable to pay a redundancy payment to the employee in those circumstances;
(c) the relevant date, in relation to any such redundancy payment, had been the date on which the termination of the employee’s contract of employment is treated for the purposes of the agreement as having taken effect; and
(d) in so far as the provisions of the agreement which relate to the following matters, that is to say—
(i) the circumstances in which the continuity of an employee’s period of employment is to be treated as broken, and
(ii) the weeks which are to count in computing a period of employment,
are inconsistent with the provisions of Schedule 13 as to those matters, those provisions of the agreement were substituted for those provisions of that Schedule.
(3) In sub-paragraph (2) “the agreement” means the agreement falling within section 106(1A)(b) by reference to which the employer’s payment is payable.

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.
