Cleared for the ILS at LHR

About 2-3 months ago I understood that an update was issued on the use of phraseology at Heathrow from the separate commands of "Report Eastablished" and "Descend with the ILS" (or roughly equivalent phrases) to the one that is used more often across Europe of "Cleared for the ILS".

At the moment, turning base into LHR I occasionally hear "Once established, descend with the glidepath" but not the shorthand version. Is there a reason or reluctance to use it?
