(3) In carrying out a review under section 264 of the Communications Act 2003 in relation to the relevant report period, OFCOM must consider whether and to what extent the making of programmes by C4C or a body corporate controlled by C4C with a view to their being broadcast on Channel 4 has affected the fulfilment of the public service remit for television in the United Kingdom. (4) The report on that review must set out the findings of OFCOM on their consideration of the matter mentioned in subsection (3) and any conclusions that they have arrived at in relation to those findings. (5) For the purposes of this section— (a) the relevant report period is the first report period to end on or after the relevant day, and (b) the relevant day is the third anniversary of the first day on which, following the coming into force of subsection (1), C4C or a body corporate controlled by C4C engages in the making of a programme with a view to its being broadcast on Channel 4.

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.
