The Fair Dealing Obligations (Pigs) Regulations 2025
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
11 Referral of relevant variable price to independent third party
(1) A pig purchase contract that uses a relevant variable price must include a third-party verification procedure. (2) A “third-party verification procedure” is a procedure which enables a qualifying seller to refer an explanation given in accordance with regulation 9(9) to an independent person— (a) for the purpose of seeking their professional opinion as to the extent to which any references to business-sensitive data are accurate; and (b) to confirm that, in the reasonable, professional opinion of the independent person, the explanation is supported by the business-sensitive data. (3) The business purchaser must— (a) cooperate with the independent person, to such extent as is reasonably requested by the person; and (b) provide such information or specified documents as are reasonably requested by the person. (4) Paragraph (3) does not apply if the independent person does not confirm to the business purchaser that they will not share business-sensitive data without the business purchaser’s consent. (5) The pig purchase contract must— (a) provide that the independent person engaged to verify business-sensitive data is to be agreed upon by the business purchaser and qualifying seller; and (b) provide for the costs of the independent person to be apportioned between the parties. (6) But the pig purchase contract must provide that the qualifying seller may not be apportioned a greater share of the costs of engaging the independent person than is apportioned to the business purchaser. (7) In this regulation, “business-sensitive data” is data— the source of which is the business purchaser; and that is of a confidential nature; “relevant variable price” means a variable price which is determined with reference to business-sensitive data. (8) Data is of a confidential nature if it is stated as being so in the pig purchase contract.

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.
