Infact just thinking about it the conservative party (to be fair to them) have been absolutely hammering labour on these issue's for quite some time. It is clear that it's only their growing unpopularity that has made them change their mind.
It also should be noted that Boris Jonson (the london mayoral candidate if you get my drift) was a major player in a protest which surrounded the mile perimeter protest exclusion zone around parliament. Could this just be to try not to let Boris make ground over the issue.
