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
As published
96 Power to obtain documents or information
(1) The Secretary of State may by notice require a person—
(a) to attend at a specified time and place and to provide information by answering questions;
(b) to provide specified information, or information of a specified description, by a specified date;
(c) to provide specified documents, or documents of a specified description, by a specified date.
In this subsection “specified” means specified in the notice.
(2) The Secretary of State may give a notice under this section to a person only if the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds to believe that—
(a) in the case of a requirement under subsection (1)(a), the person is able to provide information which is necessary for any enforcement purpose;
(b) in the case of a requirement under subsection (1)(b) or (c)—
(i) it is necessary to obtain the information or document (as the case may be) for any enforcement purpose, and
(ii) the person is able to provide it.
(3) In this section “enforcement purpose” means—
(a) the purpose of enabling the Secretary of State to determine whether to exercise any enforcement function;
(b) the purpose of determining whether there has been any non-compliance with relevant labour market legislation;

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.
