Cap 393 - The ANO
It defines the NPPL [Microlight] as a Class Rating, and the NPPL [SSEA] as a Class Rating in Part B - Ratings and Qualifications. It also states:
Class rating instructor rating (single-pilot aeroplane) shall entitle the holder to instruct licence holders for the issue of a type or class rating for single-pilot aeroplanes.
Section 1 Schedule 8 Page 20
Since a NPPL [Microlight] pilot is, by definition, a licence holder, they require tuition on the [SSEA] class, hence require a CRI or greater.
The ANO covers both the JAR-FCL licence and the National licence.
You seem to have missed the point that a CRI is a JAA Instructor rating and is subject to the conditions stated in JAR-FCL 1.005(a) (2) Applicability of licences, ratings, authorisations and approvals. A CRI can only give instruction to a licence holder which must be a JAA licence not a sub-ICAO licence.
The FI rating is a JAR rating also, yet we are allowed to instruct for the NPPL.
