Consumer Arbitration Agreements Act 1988 (repealed 31.1.1997)
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
8 Construction of sections 6 and 7.
(1) In sections 6 and 7 above “consumer” and “consumer contract” have the meanings assigned to those expressions by section 25(1) of the Act of 1977 and “domestic arbitration agreement” has the same meaning as in section 1 of the Arbitration Act 1975. (2) For the purposes of sections 6 and 7 above a difference is “relevant” where, if (disregarding the arbitration agreement) it were to be resolved by civil proceedings in the sheriff court— (a) the form of process to be used for the purposes of those proceedings would be that of a summary cause; or (b) the proceedings would come within such description of proceedings as may, by order, be specified by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this paragraph. (3) The power to make an order under paragraph (b) of subsection (2) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument made with the concurrence of the Lord Advocate; but no order shall be so made unless a draft has been laid before, and approved by resolution of, each House of Parliament.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
