Competition and Service (Utilities) Act 1992
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
37 The 25,000 therm limits.
The following section shall be inserted in the Gas Act 1986 after section 8— Modification or removal of the 25,000 therm limits. 8A (1) The Secretary of State may by order amend section 4(2)(d) or 8(5)(b) above or section 10(5) or 14(3) or (4)(b) below by substituting— (a) where the limit is for the time being expressed by reference to a number of therms— (i) such lower number of therms as he considers appropriate; or (ii) such lower limit, expressed by reference to a number of kilowatt hours, as he considers appropriate; or (b) where the limit is for the time being expressed by reference to a number of kilowatt hours, such lower number of kilowatt hours as he considers appropriate. (2) An order under subsection (1) above may be made so as to provide for the number specified in one provision to differ from that for the time being specified in any of the other provisions. (3) If the Secretary of State considers that it is appropriate to remove the limit for the time being specified in sections 4(2)(d) and 8(5)(b) above and section 14(3) and (4)(b) below he may make an order repealing— (a) in section 4(2)(d) above, the words from “at rates” to the end; (b) section 8(5) above; (c) in section 14(3) below, the words from “but this subsection” to the end; and (d) in section 14(4) below, the words from “if either” to the end. (4) Before making any order under this section, the Secretary of State shall consult the Director.

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.
