Thanks bbr. I think the skewer wasn't done up tight enough in my case. Since then, I've started really clamping it down and the movement has stopped/reduced so it's no longer noticeable.
I'd prefer to convert both front and back to bolt, but converting no-name hubs seems fraught with wrong-product purchasing potential.

If it's any help - the Halfords skewers are pretty generic and have a long thread that (in my case) needed hacksawing. I did the "mega tight" qr release thing until I got a puncture at the near end of a hundred mile ride. I'd not enough strength left to undo my skewer. I had to get the wife to pick me and bike up.

I had this on my Croix De Fer, solved with a cheap ass Allen key skewer from Halfords for £8.
Edit: this was a reply to the post about the wheel moving when braking hard (disc brake issues), sorry I've not got the hang of this new style forum yet.
