Mark my words, this will turn out to be a backdoor way of striking down some awkward legislation that might be usable as a defence against EU encroachments. Bill of Rights anyone?

Oh and they're going to "update" the Treason Acts too - just in case anyone should think them guilty for handing the country over to a Foreign Power.

I am guessing this is a result of Straw's failure to get that "regulatory" reform bill through in the form he wanted which would have enabled the government to strike down legislation by order. Cameron should introduce a very simple bill at the start of the next parliament repealing most of Labour's legislation since 1945.

That Blair's biggest "achievements" were the removal of Section 28 and a reduction in the level gay-bashing on the streets of Burnley pretty much sums up the "success" of ten years in government.
