Question Continious descend approach LHR

I'm operating into LHR frequently. Some people told me lately that on the arrival into LHR the descend is strictly monitored. Apparently the Airport authority is checking the "level segment" below 5500FT.If longer than 2NM the company is giving some negative points. I heard that most companies have a compliance rate of about 78%.
Can anybody provide me with some more info on this matter? Are these figures correct? Do they apply for all A/C types (L/M/H)?

Thanks,
