Google "Easy Access PART-FCL" It's all in there (Appendix 1). You need to have a valid theoretical knowledge pass for aeroplanes or your licence before bridging (which you do of course). But to save you the pain of hunting for the info:
1.2. Without prejudice to the paragraph above, for the issue of an LAPL, PPL, BPL or SPL, the holder of a licence in another category of aircraft shall receive theoretical knowledge instruction and pass theoretical knowledge examinations to the appropriate level in the following subjects:
- Principles of Flight,
- Operational Procedures,
- Flight Performance and Planning,
- Aircraft General Knowledge,
- Navigation.
