I know that the last 1500 summary was on 21st December 2012, but I seem to recall that the two morning summaries were withdrawn a few months earlier. Unfortunately they aren't listed on the programme index after the switchover from genome to standard BBC schedules.
I've checked a Radio Times from mid-December 2012 and the two morning summaries are still listed then, so I think it's safe to say they ended at the same time as the afternoon bulletin.
Thanks for checking, though it appears that I'd got it completely wrong. Consulting the old BBC National News thread from TVF it seems that the morning headline updates continued through until the move to NBH, outlasting the 3PM bulletin. I don't know where I got the idea that they went first from.
