10mg are available, but NHS doctors under massive pressure not to prescribe them (especially in England). Pharmacies still have 10mg (although may need to order in). Not sure about what the OP described with the computer wiping out a prescription for 10mg. Could be specific to that medical practice. Not aware of any legal change, I think this is more NHS policy.
I understood that 2mg were originally for tapering purposes, so have been very surprised to see people with a new diagnosis of panic attack / generalised anxiety scripted 2mg and nothing else. That's virtually homoeopathic, as my old doctor would put it.
BTW I do not work in the medical profession, just know a lot of people who do. If I find out anything more concrete I will post here.
