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.
Change 1
8 Duration, expiry and revival of Part I, etc.
(1)–(5) (6) Subject to subsection (7), Part I of this Act and the preceding provisions of this section shall by virtue of this subsection be repealed as from the end of the period of twelve months beginning with the date on which this Act is passed. (7) The Secretary of State may by order made by statutory instrument postpone or further postpone the time as from which the repeal provided for in subsection (6) is to have effect; but any particular order under this subsection shall not postpone or further postpone that time beyond the end of the period of twelve months beginning with the coming into operation of that order. (8) Every order under subsection (7)— (a) shall be laid before Parliament; and (b) shall cease to have effect at the expiry of a period of 40 days beginning with the date on which it was made unless, before the expiry of that period, the order has been approved by resolution of each House of Parliament, but without prejudice to anything previously done or to the making of a new order. In reckoning for the purposes of this subsection any period of 40 days, no account shall be taken of any period during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which both Houses are adjourned for more than four days. (9) The expiry or repeal at any time of section 3 shall not affect the operation of that section in the case of a person released thereunder while it was in force; and subsections (3) to (7) of that section shall continue to apply in relation to any such person accordingly.

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.
