Quote from email to FE from Head of Licensing & Training Policy UK CAA
'Part-FCL says that the 1 hour training flight with an instructor is not required if the pilot has passed a skill test or proficiency check for a Type or Class rating within the relevant period. There does not appear to be any credit for an IR test - and by implication no credit for an IR(R)/IMC test either. EASA has agreed to consider this further. We may have an answer at the next meeting in April. However, for the moment I must advise that you should not revalidate an SEP rating on the basis of an IMC test'
Was there an answer in April?
