I don't doubt you're right. The WTD however I've long considered fairly pointless, simply because most people working very long hours choose to do so to earn more. I'm opted out of it and I can't recall the last time I worked a week of over 48 hours. It occasionally happens up to deadlines but hardly ever.
It also applies very poorly to working from home, where working hours are rather more nominal, work-life split is often more blurred (e.g. I might do a data load in the evening while watching TV - is that a working hour or not?), and it's more about getting the work done and the amount of allocated work being reasonable.
I edited after you posted, but the Conservatives were strongly opposed to any limits being applied at all. I have no doubt that, once we are out of the transition period, workers' rights will be in grave peril.
