Question:

: My veterinarian of twelve years who has always docked my terriers' tails has recently adopted a policy of no tail docking, dew claws or ear cropping for all breeds.
: He says tail docking is not allowed in England and will be the wave of the future here soon. What is JRTCA's policy and are they discussing this problem for the future?

You can contact the JRTCA regarding their policies, and until then I would suggest that you find a Vet that will dock the tails.
Just because it may be a law in England doesn't mean that it will be here, and I seriously doubt that it will be. Americans have been known to think for themselves!
