(3) Regulations under this section may— (a) prescribe the kinds of oil fuel, and the kinds of furnaces and engines, to which the regulations are to apply; (b) apply standards, specifications, descriptions or tests laid down in documents not forming part of the regulations; and (c) without prejudice to the generality of section 63(1)(a), make different provision for different areas.

(4A) For the investigatory powers available to a local authority for the purposes of the duty in subsection (4)(a), see Schedule 5 to the Consumer Rights Act 2015. (5) In this section “oil fuel” means any liquid petroleum product produced in a refinery.

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.
