1. It's an EU directive, or aimed at covering an imminent directive increasing annual leave entitlements
(Any time the Government stubbornly press ahead with some misguided or barking mad policy apparently at odds with their general outlook, you can be fairly sure the EU is behind it. The Government is often reluctant to admit this as it shows how utterly impotent they are to do otherwise.)
2. It's a lame attempt to woo wavering left wing liberals, who might consider voting Tory if they thought Tories are now nice enough.
3. Cameron feels he has to accommodate some bossy underling with a bee in their bonnet about this, and threatening to defect to UKIP or something if he doesn't accede to their wishes.
4. Perhaps a crafty way of reducing the amount paid to military reservists for their weekends charging about in tanks on Salisbury Plain
