On my Honda MAC course I was taught to filter by the ex-copper instructor. He said their was no real rules that apply to it other than all the rules in the Highway Code. He said that the police work by the idea that if filtering is done safely then it's ok. Speed should only be appropriate to allow safe stopping. The main thing that stuck with me is that if he ever saw a bike filtering with the traffic speed was above 20mph he would pull them for driving without due care.
I know that the rules of filtering weren't asked, but I felt this info was needed to clarify how it should be done. So know your Highway Code.
As an example answer this question:
As a motorcyclist is it legal to overtake a car on a solid white line?
