Finance Act 2012
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.
Change 1
58 Section 57: meaning of “pension business”
(1) This section defines for the purposes of the definition of “basic life assurance and general annuity business” given by section 57 what is meant by “pension business”. (2) Life assurance business is “pension business” if— (a) it consists of the effecting or carrying out of contracts entered into for the purposes of a registered pension scheme, or (b) it is the re-insurance of business within paragraph (a). (3) Subsection (4) applies if the pension scheme ceases to be a registered pension scheme as a result of the withdrawal of its registration under section 157 of FA 2004. (4) The company's life assurance business that was pension business when the scheme was a registered pension scheme is treated as ceasing to be pension business at the beginning of the company's period of account in which the scheme so ceases to be a registered pension scheme. (5) If— (a) immediately before 6 April 2006 an annuity contract fell within any of the descriptions of contracts specified in section 431B(2) of ICTA as it had effect immediately before that date, but (b) the contract does not fall to be regarded for the purposes of this section as having been entered into for the purposes of a registered pension scheme, the contract is treated for the purposes of this section as having been entered into for those purposes.

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.
