I think we are talking at cross purposes here. I agree that there is a lot of hoops to jump for the IR, but with the current situation that 50 hours training is required then that is going to take some elapsed time. If someone wanted to train part time for example then I know of FTOs that would do it.

The AIP is quite explicit about the IMC minima. Para 3.3.2 in section AD 1.1.2 states 'Pilots with a valid IMC/Instrument Weather Rating are recommended to add 200 ft to the Instrument Rated pilots' DH/MDH, but with absolute minima of 500 ft for a precision approach and 600 ft for a non precision approach' I would read that to mean that the 500 and 600 ft figures are not just recommendations but requirements.
That being the case you would be liable under Article 40 of the ANO if you continued an approach with weather below these minima.
OTOH if you don't have an incident, you are unlikely to get an MOR as ATC won't know you don't have an IR!!
