120AC Registered persons: information on progress of an application
(1) DBS must, in response to a request from a person who is acting as the registered person in relation to an application under section 113A or 113B, inform that person whether or not a certificate has been issued in response to the application. (2) Subsections (3) and (4) apply if, at the time a request is made under subsection (1), a certificate has been issued. (3) In the case of a certificate under section 113A, if it was a certificate stating that there is no relevant matter recorded in central records, DBS may inform the person who made the request that the certificate was such a certificate. (4) In the case of a certificate under section 113B, if it was a certificate— (a) stating that there is no relevant matter recorded in central records and no information provided in accordance with subsection (4) of that section, and (b) if section 113BA(1) or 113BB(1) applies to the certificate, containing no suitability information indicating that the person to whom the certificate is issued— (i) is barred from regulated activity relating to children or to vulnerable adults, or (ii) is subject to a direction under 128 of the Education and Skills Act 2008 or section 167A of the Education Act 2002, DBS may inform the person who made the request that the certificate was such a certificate. (5) If no certificate has been issued, DBS must inform the person who made the request of such other matters relating to the processing of the application as DBS considers appropriate. (6) Subject to subsections (2) to (4), nothing in this section permits DBS to inform a person who is acting as the registered person in relation to an application under section 113A or 113B of the content of any certificate issued in response to the application. (7) DBS may refuse a request under subsection (1) if it is made after the end of a prescribed period beginning with the day on which the certificate was issued. (8) In this section— “central records” and “relevant matter” have the same meaning as in section 113A, “suitability information” means information required to be included in a certificate under section 113B by virtue of section 113BA or 113BB. (9) Expressions in subsection (4)(b) and in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 have the same meaning in that paragraph as in that Act.

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.
