— The LAA website update dated 1/9/24 states: "CW1&2 MH and CWC MH updated to reference the 2024 Standard Civil Contract." Note that para 3.12 of the 2018 Standard Civil Contract Specification states: "We may amend the Application Forms from time to time upon giving at least 28 days' notice to you." At the very least (if the website update counts as contractual notice) they will have to accept the old version for 28 days after 1/9/24.
