Airbus minimum selected speed (a320-340s)

Did the obligatory search but didn't find what I was after.

From a company a few years ago we had it beaten into us that on approach one was not to select below the relevant maneuvering speed (e.g. not select below green dot if clean, S speed if in flap 1, F speed if flap 2)

This "makes sense" given A/Thr wont do it (i.e. Le Bus doesn't think it is smart)

Now said company where I first flew the 330 and 340 it was in the manuals, this may have been a company addition as they were bastardising the manuals a lot at that time.

Slide forward to the present where I fly a 320 and went looking in the (new) manuals for this point and could find no reference.

Can anyone help me on this or is it not an Airbus method?

Thanks.
