Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998
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
6 Rate of statutory interest.
(1) The Secretary of State shall by order made with the consent of the Treasury set the rate of statutory interest by prescribing— (a) a formula for calculating the rate of statutory interest; or (b) the rate of statutory interest. (2) Before making such an order the Secretary of State shall, among other things, consider the extent to which it may be desirable to set the rate so as to— (a) protect suppliers whose financial position makes them particularly vulnerable if their qualifying debts are paid late; and (b) deter generally the late payment of qualifying debts.

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.
