Children and Young Persons Act 1963
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.

42 Licences for children and young persons performing abroad.
(1) Section 25 of the principal Act (which prohibits childrenfrom going abroad for certain purposes except under the authority of a licence granted under that section) and section 26 of that Act (which imposes penalties for contraventions) shall have effect as if the words “singing, playing, performing or being exhibited” included taking part in any such performance as is mentioned in paragraph (c) or (d) of section 37(2) of this Act. (2) A licence under the said section 25 may be granted in relation to a purpose referred to in subsection (1)(a) of that section in respect of a person notwithstanding that he is under the age of fourteen if— (a) the engagement which he is to fulfil is for acting and the application for the licence is accompanied by a declaration that the part he is to act cannot be taken except by a person of about his age; or (b) the engagement is for dancing in a ballet which does not form part of an entertainment of which anything other than ballet or opera also forms part and the application for the licence is accompanied by a declaration that the part he is to dance cannot be taken except by a child of about his age; or (c) the engagement is for taking part in a performance the nature of which is wholly or mainly musical or which consists only of opera and ballet and the nature of his part in the performance is wholly or mainly musical.

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.
