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.

158 Transfers from friendly societies to insurance companies etc
(1) If at any time an insurance company acquires by way of transfer of engagements from a friendly society any BLAGAB or eligible PHI business which—
(a) relates to contracts made before that time, and
(b) immediately before that time was exempt BLAGAB or eligible PHI business,
that business continues to be exempt from corporation tax (whether on income or chargeable gains) on profits arising from it.
(2) If at any time a friendly society ceases as a result of section 91 of FSA 1992 (conversion into company) to be registered under that Act, any part of its BLAGAB or eligible PHI business which—
(a) relates to contracts made before that time, and
(b) immediately before that time was exempt BLAGAB or eligible PHI business,
continues to be exempt from corporation tax (whether on income or chargeable gains) on profits arising from it.
(3) If contracts constituting or forming part of the business of a company covered by this section are varied during an accounting period of the company so as to increase the premiums payable under them, the business relating to those contracts is not exempt from corporation tax for that or any subsequent accounting period.

(6) The regulations may make provision having retrospective effect.
(7) The regulations may—
(a) make different provision for different cases or circumstances, and

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.
