Petroleum and Submarine Pipe-lines Act 1975 (repealed 15/02/1999)
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
45 Amendments of enactments.
(1) It is hereby declared that the reference to pipe-lines under the high seas in section 8(1) of the Continental Shelf Act 1964 (which among other things relate to the punishment of persons who damage such pipe-lines) includes pipe-lines under the territorial sea adjacent to the United Kingdom. (2) In section 23 of the Prevention of Oil Pollution Act 1971 (which among other things authorises the Secretary of State to exempt vessels from provisions of that Act) the words “any vessels or classes of vessels” shall be omitted and at the end of the section there shall be inserted the words — (a) any vessels or classes of vessels; (b) any discharge of, or of a mixture containing, crude oil produced as a result of operations for the exploration of the sea-bed and subsoil or the exploitation of their natural resources in a case where the discharge occurs in the course of such operations or is from a pipe-line or a place on land. (3) Nothing in Part II of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 shall apply to anything done— (a) for the purpose of constructing or maintaining a pipe-line as respects any part of which an authorisation (within the meaning of Part III of this Act) is in force; or (b) for the purpose of establishing or maintaining an offshore installation within the meaning of the Mineral Workings (Offshore Installations) Act 1971 . . .

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.
