To answer a question, no it is not against FIDE rules, I know of quite a few federations with this rule.
Secondly, at the AGM we voted to allow Matthew to transfer. We could end up with the ludicrous situation where according to FIDE he is eligible to play for Scotland (it is either Jan 2013 or 2014, I can't remember off the top of my head) but according to our rules he can't. We cannot keep the status quo because of this.
