Imprisonment (Temporary Provisions) Act 1980
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.

6 Detention in the custody of a constable.
(1) This section applies to any person in the custody of a constable whose duty it is to take him to a prison or accommodation which is youth detention accommodation (within the meaning given by section 248(1) of the Sentencing Code) in which his detention is authorised by law, and shall be deemed always to have applied to persons in the custody of a constable in those circumstances. (2) It is hereby declared that where it is for any reason not practicable to secure the admission of a person to whom this section applies to the accommodation in which his detention is so authorised, he may lawfully be detained in the custody of a constable until such time as he can be admitted there or is required to appear before a court. (3) Any reference in this section to a constable includes a reference to a prisoner custody officer (within the meaning of Part IV of the Criminal Justice Act 1991) acting in pursuance of prisoner escort arrangements (within the meaning of that Part). (4) Any reference in this section to a constable includes a reference to a custody officer (within the meaning of section 12 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994) acting in pursuance of escort arrangements (within the meaning of Schedule 1 to that Act).

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.
