Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009
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
As published
A10 Further provision about apprenticeship targets
(1) A public body for which an apprenticeship target is set must—
(a) publish and send to the Secretary of State the information specified in subsection (2), and
(b) send to the Secretary of State any other prescribed information,
within six months after the end of each reporting period of the body in the target period.
(2) The information referred to in subsection (1)(a) is—
(a) the number of employees whose employment in England by the body began in the reporting period in question (“figure A”);
(b) the number of apprentices who began to work for the body in that period and whose apprenticeship agreements also began in that period (“figure B”);
(c) figure B expressed as a percentage of figure A;
(d) the number of employees employed in England that the body has at the end of that period (“figure C”);
(e) the number of apprentices who work for the body at the end of that period (“figure D”);
(f) figure D expressed as a percentage of figure C;
(g) if that reporting period is the first reporting period in the target period, the number of apprentices who worked for the body immediately before that period.
(3) The information that may be prescribed under subsection (1)(b) includes—
(a) information about action that the body has taken to meet an apprenticeship target set for it;
(b) if the public body has failed to meet an apprenticeship target set for it, an explanation of why the target has not been met;
(c) information about action that the body proposes to take to meet an apprenticeship target set for the body for a period that has not yet expired (“a future target”);
(d) if the body considers that a future target is not likely to be met, an explanation of why that is so.
(4) Regulations may specify how the information is to be published or sent.
(5) A body's “reporting periods” in the target period are—
(a) so much of the first financial year of the body to end in the target period as falls within that period,
(b) each subsequent financial year of the body which falls wholly within the target period, and
(c) if the target period ends during a financial year of the body, so much of that financial year as falls within that period.
(6) But, where the target period in relation to a body does not exceed 12 months, the Secretary of State may direct in writing that for the purposes of this section the body is to be treated as having one reporting period which coincides with the target period.
(7) Where, by virtue of section A9(5)(c) or (d) a target is set for more than one public body, regulations may specify which body's financial year is to be used to determine the reporting periods under subsection (5).
(8) In this section—
“apprenticeship agreement” has the meaning given by section A9(7);
“apprenticeship target” has the meaning given by section A9(2);
“public body” has the meaning given by section A9(7);
“target period”, in relation to an apprenticeship target, means the period specified under section A9(6) as the period to which the target relates.

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.
