Public Lending Right Act 1979
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.

2 The Central Fund.
(1) The Central Fund shall be constituted by the Secretary of State and placed under the control and management of the Board . (2) There shall be paid into the Fund from time to time such sums, out of money provided by Parliament, as the Secretary of State with Treasury approval determines to be required for the purpose of satisfying the liabilities of the Fund; but in respect of the liabilities of any one financial year of the Fund the total of those sums shall not exceed £2 million .... (3) With the consent of the Treasury, the Secretary of State may from time to time by order in a statutory instrument increase the limit on the sums to be paid under subsection (2) above in respect of financial years beginning after that in which the order is made; but no such order shall be made unless a draft of it has been laid before the House of Commons and approved by a resolution of that House. (4) There are to be paid out of the Central Fund such sums as may in accordance with the scheme be due from time to time in respect of public lending right. (5) There is to be paid into the Central Fund— (a) money received by the Board in respect of property disposed of in connection with its functions in relation to public lending right, and (b) money otherwise received by the Board in the course of its functions in relation to public lending right, or under this Act, after deduction of any costs associated with the disposal of the property or otherwise referable to the money received. (5A) But an amount required to be paid into the Central Fund under subsection (5) is instead to be paid into the Consolidated Fund if the Secretary of State, with the consent of the Treasury, so directs.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
