(2) Where, in investigating a matter specified in such a direction, it appears to the Commission that— (a) another matter (a “related matter”) which is relevant to the determination of the appeal or application for leave to appeal by the relevant Court ought, if possible, to be resolved before the appeal or application for leave to appeal is determined by that Court, and (b) an investigation of the related matter is likely to result in the Court’s being able to resolve it, the Commission may also investigate the related matter.

(6) Such a report shall be accompanied— (a) by any statements and opinions received by the Commission in the investigation of the matter specified in the direction or any related matter investigated by them, and (b) subject to subsection (7), by any reports so received. (7) Such a report need not be accompanied by any reports submitted to the Commission under section 20(6) by an investigating officer.

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.
