Sorry don't wish to be too pedantic but heres the direct quote from LASORS concerning MEP rating,
F3.1 INTRODUCTION
To fly as pilot-in-command (PIC) of an aeroplane in the
MEP (Land) Class you must have a MEP (Land) Class
Rating endorsed onto your licence.
F3.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ADDITION
OF AN MEP (LAND) CLASS RATING
An applicant for a class rating for a single-pilot MEP
(Land) aeroplane rating must produce evidence of having
completed a minimum of 70 hours as pilot-in-command
of aeroplanes.
I am led to believe by the training establishment where I am doing my CPL, that these figures apply if the MEP is being gained as part of a 28 hour multi engine CPL. It makes sense as I will be gaining an MEP rating when my CPL is issued and the entire course is dual, so I need the 70 hours before starting the course.
