Absolutely outrageous and clearly based on prejudice against cyclists rather than anything legitimate.
Is there any way for the public to complain against such a decision?

This is from the Association of Bikeability Schemes in response to the ASA's ruling on riding position

A core principle of the National Standard guidance is about riding in a position where a
cyclist is most likely to be seen by drivers. This advice from the ASA contradicts the
Department for Transports own guidelines which state:
(Riders must) understand where to ride on roads being used: Trainees must understand the
primary and secondary positions. Trainees must position themselves where they can be seen and
should not cycle in the gutter. Where there is little other traffic and/or there is plenty of room to be
overtaken they may ride in the secondary position. Where the road is narrow and two-way traffic
would make it hazardous for the trainee to be overtaken by a following vehicle they must be observed
to ride in the primary position. If the trainee is riding at the speed of other traffic then they should do
so in the primary position.
