Goverments are free to introduce laws that were not in their election materials. As much as I hate this plan they have the right to introduce it.
That said I don't think they will get it though. Dorres isn't a mainstream MP as far as I know and may find it difficult to get support for it, especially amongst lib dem MPs....
