As far as I understand TMA controllers are not permitted to descend aircraft below 4000' when establishing the aircraft on the localizer themselves. Not too sure why really.
I would have thought airspace constraints will be getting in the way of going any lower in most cases anyway, except perhaps Stansted 04. Thats considering the aircraft will be establishing pretty far out then transferring to approach.
