Anyway, current word from the top is NO, there has been no change in policy to credit LAPL training towards a PPL unless the applicant has already gained a PPL.
So if a student starts a LAPL course, he/she must finish the course, obtain the licence and then do the LAPL-to-PPL course (including the Q X-C even if already flown...
), then apply for the PPL.
Hopefully RMT.0678 can get this changed eventually....but don't count your chooks!
