Did any of those on the list and living in the UK notice a recent proposal 
to require older cars ('91-'94, I think) to fit immobilisers?

While this does not directly impact MGs, it is a very dangerous precedent. 
What if the next requirement were to require fitment of catalytic 
converters, etc to all cars?

Up to now, cars in the UK have only had to comply with requirements in force 
at the time of first registration. If this is no longer the case, the door 
is open for all kinds of requirements which coud make classic car ownership 
impractical.

Write to your MPs now!
