Export Control Act 2002
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 Secretary of State may give guidance about any matter relating to the exercise of any licensing power or other function to which this section applies. (3) But the Secretary of State must give guidance about the general principles to be followed when exercising licensing powers to which this section applies. (4) The guidance required by subsection (3) must include guidance about the consideration (if any) to be given, when exercising such powers, to— (a) issues relating to sustainable development; and (b) issues relating to any possible consequences of the activity being controlled that are of a kind mentioned in the Table in paragraph 3 of the Schedule; but this subsection does not restrict the matters which may be addressed in guidance. (5) Any person exercising a licensing power or other function to which this section applies shall have regard to any guidance which relates to that power or other function. (6) A copy of any guidance shall be laid before Parliament and published in such manner as the Secretary of State may think fit. (7) In this section “guidance” means guidance stating that it is given under this section.

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.
