The new Government consultation on delivering inclusive web sites
suggests not. AA it is.

"The UK government has issued a consultation document on Delivering
Inclusive Websites.

It's not finalised, as the consultation doesn't end until November 13
but in its current state it's not a bad document; it rehashes PAS 78,
recognises that the only way to find out if a website is accessible is
to test it and it says that the minimum acceptable level of
accessibility is Level-AA of WCAG 1.0—so valid, semantic code becomes
mandatory"
