I lost track of the number of occasions I've seen the CAA (or other UK government bodies) tighten up rules THAT WERE NOT FOLLOWED, after something awful has happened. It's a ridiculous kneejerk response that happens over and over again.
And clearly, if the existing rules weren't followed, tightening up rules already being ignored, is unlikely to change much!
