Companies Act 1976
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.

18 Powers of auditors in relation to subsidiaries
(1) Where a company (" the holding company ") has a subsidiary, then— (a) if the subsidiary is a body corporate incorporated in Great Britain, it shall be the duty of the subsidiary and its auditors to give to the auditors of the holding company such information and explanation as those auditors may reasonably require for the purposes of their duties as auditors of the holding company; (b) in any other case, it shall be the duty of the holding company, if required by its auditors to do so, to take all such steps as are reasonably open to it to obtain from the subsidiary such information and explanation as aforesaid. (2) If a subsidiary or holding company fails to comply with subsection (1) above the subsidiary or holding company and every officer thereof who is in default shall be guilty of an offence; and if an auditor fails without reasonable excuse to comply with paragraph (a) of that subsection he shall be guilty of an offence. (3) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £200.

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.
