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.

53 Compensation for damage to requisitioned land.
(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, any compensation accruing due in respect of any land after the commencement of this Act by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section two of the Compensation (Defence) Act, 1939 (which relates to compensation payable in respect of damage occurring to requisitioned land during the period of requisition) shall not exceed the amount (if any) by which the value mentioned in paragraph (a) of the next following subsection falls short of the price mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection. (2) The said value and price are— (a) the value, at the time when the compensation accrues due, of a freehold interest in the land in question, free from incumbrances but subject to any easement or other restriction affecting the land at that time; and (b) the price which would be the compulsory purchase price of the land at that time if it were then in the state in which it was when possession of the land was taken in the exercise of emergency powers. (3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
