Is it legal to remove the bulkhead from a van?

Hi,
I've just bought a car derived van, which is a car taken from the production line and instead of rear seats, has a full floor, up to the front seat, with a bulkhead.

What I want to know, is it legal to remove it?
I'm thinking of the safety reasons for having one, to stop e,g, parcels in the rear hitting the driver in a crash. Also will the insurance cover the 'van' with the bulkhead removed?
Cheers, C.
