Apparently they're fed up with the fragility of the paper counterpart, which has to be protected from absolutely everything, for fear of it getting torn, damaged, etc. But as soon as you have to take it out to present to a policeman, it gets damaged and torn anyway.

It is only the licence that should be given to any policeman. To hand over the counterpart could influence his judgement and make any prosecution invalid.
I don't believe that's true. A police officer can only offer a fixed-penalty at the side of the road if the 3 points (or whatever) would not put you over the 12 point limit. If it would or if they don't know then they must refer for summons in the normal way.
Doubtless someone will correct me if that is wrong.
