Replying to my own message, for other people's reference. I found this is a document at caa srg;
"
Holders of a UK PPL(A) or UK CPL(A) with an IMC Rating which includes a valid Certificate of Test will be entitled to a reduction in the approved training requirement of 12 hours of dual instruction in instrument flying, where the training and testing are completed by 30 June 2002. A UK CPL(A) holder who receives this 12 hour credit is not entitled to a further 5 hour reduction as allowed in Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.205
paragraph 12.
Holders of JAR-FCL licences (including the JAR-FCL CPL(A)(Restricted)) may not benefit from the 12 hours credit based on the IMC Rating, but a JAR-FCL CPL holder would be eligible for the 5 hour reduction in
accordance with Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.205
"
Does this mean that if I add an IMC to my JAR-FCL PPL, I don't get the reduction in hours towards the IR?
