The rules have changed....certain cars (generally manual box cars) do still need them....but this is the new ruling....
Paragraph 2(inspection manual update)
It is acceptable for a steering lock to be removed if there is an alternative, permanently installed, immobilisation device fitted which acts on either: the steering; gear shift; transmission; or prevents the engine from running.
So now if the steering lock has been removed, as long as it has some device which is part of the vehicle ,example factory fitted immobiliser or other,fitted from new,then that's acceptable.
