The Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Award) Regulations 2025
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.

(a) specify the number of 26 GHz lower lots which it wishes to bid for at a price of two million pounds per lot;
(b) specify the number of 26 GHz upper lots which it wishes to bid for at a price of two million pounds per lot; and
(c) specify the number of 40 GHz lots which it wishes to bid for at a price of one million pounds per lot.
(2) A bidder may only specify one quantity of lots of each type.
(3) The number of lots of each type specified by the bidder must together meet the constraints of the eligibility rule.
(4) Subject to the constraint in paragraph (3), the number of lots of each type specified by the bidder may be any quantity from (and including) zero up to and including the total number of lots of that type which are available in the award process.
(5) Except where OFCOM have sent a notification to that bidder under regulation 124(1) or 128(1), if a bidder does not specify a quantity of lots it wishes to bid for in respect of any lot type within the time period for bidding, that bidder shall be deemed to have entered a decision to bid for zero lots of that lot type.
(6) Any bidder which, in the first principal stage round, specifies that it wishes to bid for (or is deemed to have bid for) zero 26 GHz lower lots, zero 26 GHz upper lot lots and zero 40 GHz lots, shall be excluded from the award process and shall not receive a refund of any sums which the bidder has paid as a deposit under these Regulations, which shall (where not already forfeited) be forfeited together with any interest which has accrued on the deposit.

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.
