Assuming the government haven't done their usual and passed the law without thinking ahead, then i would imagine there is a lee way in the law, probably the same amount of time you have after you road tax expires to declare the vehicle SCORN, to allow for situations like this and if not you would be able to appeal against that sort of thing because of the circumstances.
Personally i think this is a good change provided they do it properly, with less uninsured drivers on the roads everyones insurance SHOULD (but probably won't...) go down, or at the least not go up any more.
