Hi Minty and welcome. 
Removing the AIS does nothing to affect performance and won't cause you problems at MOT time. Most of us do it to improve access to the plugs and to tidy up the top of the motor.
More here. Ignore the emissions disclaimer as it's a US site. You will find loads more useful stuff on the same site.
