"Throwing into the bin" like you suggest is a typical "kick the can down the road" response to all these do-gooder programs that make everyone feel better but either deliver very little benefit or become too difficult/expensive to implement, or both. Just like most of Labour's "kindness" in the last 6 years.
There have been numerous reasons put on here over the last few pages on the difficulty of this and questionable benefit of this and other similar programs, but those promoting it just say there are no valid arguments against it. It looks like quite an ideological difference between those that want such feel good programs as long as the Government pays for it and those that want value for every dollar spent by Government.
