Not true - the night hours can be within the 45 hour minimum. From LASORS Section C1.2:
Night Qualification
Training for a Night Qualification (Aeroplanes) may be completed and included within the 45 hours total flight time required for the JAR-FCL PPL(A), providing the minimum requirements at (a) and (b) have been met.
