Change 1
1 Exclusion of participation agreements from Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1976.
(1) If it appears to the Secretary of State that an agreement (whether entered into before or after the commencement of this Act) is a participation agreement to which this section should apply he may certify the agreement as one to which this section applies. (2) The Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1976 shall not apply, and neither that Act nor the Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1956 shall be deemed ever to have applied, to an agreement certified by the Secretary of State as one to which this section applies. (3) In this Act “participation agreement” means an agreement entered into by the Secretary of State, the British National Oil Corporation or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation which either is, or supplements, an agreement entered into with a view to securing participation— (a) by the Government of the United Kingdom; (b) by the British National Oil Corporation; or (c) by any other body on behalf of the Government; in activities connected with petroleum existing in its natural condition in strata in the United Kingdom or beneath waters which form part of the territorial sea adjacent to the United Kingdom or are in a designated area within the meaning of the Continental Shelf Act 1964; but does not include any agreement relating to dealings by the British National Oil Corporation or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries in any substance other than petroleum and petroleum products. (4) Section 736 of the Companies Act 1985 or, as the case may be, Article 4 of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 shall apply for determining for the purposes of this section whether a company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the British National Oil Corporation. (5) Where the Secretary of State certifies an agreement as one to which this section applies he shall lay before Parliament a statement giving the date of the certificate, the date of the agreement and the parties to the agreement. (6) In this Act— “agreement” has the same meaning as in the Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1976, “petroleum” has the same meaning as, by virtue of section 16(1) of the Petroleum and Submarine Pipe-lines Act 1975, it has in Part I of that Act, and “petrolum products” has the same meaning as in section 21 of the Energy Act 1976.

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.
