Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021
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.

After section 105V of the Communications Act 2003 insert— Civil liability for breach of security duties 105W (1) A duty imposed by or under any of sections 105A to 105D and 105J on a provider of a public electronic communications network or a public electronic communications service is a duty owed to every person who may be affected by a contravention of the duty. (2) Subsections (3) and (4) apply where a duty is owed by virtue of subsection (1) to a person. (3) A breach of the duty that causes that person to sustain loss or damage is actionable at the suit or instance of that person. (4) An act which— (a) by inducing a breach of the duty or interfering with its performance, causes that person to sustain loss or damage, and (b) is done wholly or partly for achieving that result, is actionable at the suit or instance of that person. (5) In proceedings brought against a provider of a public electronic communications network or a public electronic communications service by virtue of subsection (3), it is a defence for the provider to show that they took all reasonable steps and exercised all due diligence to avoid contravening the duty in question. (6) The consent of OFCOM is required for the bringing of proceedings by virtue of this section. (7) If OFCOM give their consent subject to conditions relating to the conduct of the proceedings, the proceedings are not to be carried on except in compliance with those conditions.

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.
