This would then mean that if there is any likelihood of issues arising from the implementation of these "Laws" they would be defined from the very start & the required remedial action could be taken to correct the problem. Also added to this when a new Government comes into the picture there can be no bleating as to "It was before our time & there's nothing we can do about it. " because they would've been implicit in its implication.
