"With the NPPL mess/fudge, theoretically it is possible to do all your NPPL SEP training on a microlight at an unlicencesed airfield except for the final hour and your test which would have to be done on a light aircraft at a licensed airfield."
Totally incorrect.
I suspect the LAASG results are on hold whilst the lunacy of EASA dreams up ever more heavy-handed, expensive and unnecessary 'regulations'.
E.g. No more UK IMC Ratings because some verbose European airline pilots union representative doesn't like it, an end to people with ICAO licences being able to fly privately in the UK on such licences, an end to the old 'lifetime' UK PPL, an end to the old UK CPL and ATPL with their embedded IMC privileges, an end to the UK BCPL(R)......
The Eurocrats intend to force all national licence holders to convert to a Euro-licence. Expensive, unnecessary and with less privileges.
If you don't like the idea, please tell your MP...NOW!!
And also mention it to the CAA whenever you call them, whether about the LAASG report or anything else.
