Banking Act 1987 (repealed)
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.

19 Directions to institutions.
(1) The Authority may give an institution directions under this section— (a) when giving it notice that the Authority proposes to revoke its authorisation; (b) at any time after such a notice has been given to the institution (whether before or after its authorisation is revoked); (c) when giving the institution a notice of revocation under section 14(2) above by virtue of section 11(6)(b) above in the case of a members’ voluntary winding up; (d) at any time after the institution has served a notice surrendering its authorisation, whether with immediate effect or with effect from a later date specified in the notice; (e) at or at any time after the expiry (otherwise than by virtue of section 12(8) above) of a restricted authorisation of the institution; (f) at any time after a disqualification notice has been served on the institution under section 183 of the Financial Services Act 1986. (2) Directions under this section shall be such as appear to the Authority to be desirable in the interests of the institution’s depositors or potential depositors, whether for the purpose of safeguarding its assets or otherwise, and may in particular— (a) require the institution to take certain steps or to refrain from adopting or pursuing a particular course of action or to restrict the scope of its business in a particular way; (b) impose limitations on the acceptance of deposits, the granting of credit or the making of investments; (c) prohibit the institution from soliciting deposits either generally or from persons who are not already depositors; (d) prohibit it from entering into any other transaction or class of transactions; (e) require the removal of any director, controller or manager. (3) No direction shall be given by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1) above, and any direction given by virtue of either of those paragraphs shall cease to have effect, if the Authority gives the institution notice that it is not proposing to take any further action pursuant to the notice mentioned in that paragraph or if the Authority’s decision to revoke the institution’s authorisation is reversed on appeal. (4) No direction shall be given by virtue of paragraph (d) of subsection (1) above, and any direction given by virtue of that paragraph shall cease to have effect, if the Authority allows the institution to withdraw the surrender of its authorisation. (5) No direction shall be given to an institution under this section after it has ceased to have any liability in respect of deposits for which it had a liability at a time when it was authorised; and any such direction which is in force with respect to an institution shall cease to have effect when the institution ceases to have any such liability. (6) An institution which fails to comply with any requirement or contravenes any prohibition imposed on it by a direction under this section shall be guilty of an offence and liable— (a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine; (b) on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum. (7) A contravention of a prohibition imposed under this section shall not invalidate any transaction.

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.
