Is the "rule changing" you refer to the UK requirement to fly in accordance with IFR at night? So with EASA requiring an IR to fly IFR, by implication you will need an IR to instruct for the NQ. Could a FI then not still teach the NQ in a CTR, SVFR? Admittedly the the 1 hour cross-country might present a problem, you could always do a very slow lap of the perimeter of the CTR
