A Private Members' Bill introduced by Harriett Baldwin, the Conservative MP for West Worcestershire, that's worth Unionists keeping at least half an eye on for obvious reasons:
The Bill was presented, through the ballot procedure, to Parliament on 30 June 2010.
There was no debate at that stage and it will be presented for its second reading on 11th February.

Seems like common sense to me?
I have no problem with it per se, just that it needs keeping an eye on for the precedent it might set.
