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
As published
153 Power to make consequential modifications in other Acts etc.
(1) The Secretary of State may by order make such modifications of existing provisions as appear to him to be necessary or expedient in consequence of the provisions of this Act, or of any instrument made under or by virtue of this Act, being modifications in respect of—
(a) any reference in an existing provision to the Board or any subsidiary of the Board;
(b) any reference (in whatever terms) in an existing provision to any railway, railway service or railway undertaking;
(c) any reference (in whatever terms) in an existing provision to any person who—
(i) provides a railway service, or
(ii) carries on a railway undertaking,
or who is authorised to do so under or by virtue of any enactment;
(d) any reference in an existing provision to any enactment amended or repealed by or under this Act;
(e) any existing provision, so far as appearing to the Secretary of State to be of no further practical utility, having regard to the provisions of this Act;
(f) any other inconsistency between an existing provision and this Act.
(2) In this section—
“existing provision” means a provision contained in any Act (whether public general or local) passed, or in subordinate legislation made, before the relevant date;
“railway” has its wider meaning, within the meaning of Part I above;
“railway service” has the same meaning as in Part I above;
“the relevant date”, in relation to any modification, means the date of the coming into force of the provision of this Act on which the modification is consequential;
“subordinate legislation” has the same meaning as in the Interpretation Act 1978.

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.
