The Supply of Machinery (Safety) (Amendment etc.) and the EU Machinery Regulation (Enforcement etc. in Northern Ireland) Regulations 2026
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
14 Disclosure of information to the Commission and member States
(1) Where there is an obligation in the Machinery Regulation to disclose information to the Commission or member States (or both), that obligation may be met by— (a) an enforcer that is not the Secretary of State disclosing that information to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of State in turn disclosing that information to the Commission or member States (or both); or (b) the Secretary of State disclosing that information to the Commission or member States (or both). (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), disclosure of information under paragraph (1) does not breach— (a) any obligation of confidence owed by the person making the disclosure; or (b) any other restriction on the disclosure of information, however imposed. (3) This regulation does not authorise a disclosure of information if the disclosure of information would contravene the data protection legislation, but in determining whether a disclosure would do so, the power to disclose information under this regulation must be taken into account. (4) This regulation does not affect any power or duty of an enforcer to disclose information under any other enactment. (5) In this regulation— “the Commission” means the Commission of the European Union; and “data protection legislation” has the same meaning as it has in section 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

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.
