Some people will say the Confuser was no help and others will say they didn't even bother with it.

I found it to be invaluable (regardless of the mistakes) as the CAA have a nasty sense of humour when it comes to the format of questions and trying to catch you out.

An older version will still be good practice and at least give you the gist of what to expect.

They have been hard to come by, but do pop up on Ebay occasionally. I've even seen a PDF version kicking about!

@TractorBoy - Airlaw is a mandatory requirement for solo.

Not legally, but lots of schools have it in their policy.

I was just doing an exhaustive search for the word "solo" in LASORS and hit upon the same article.

But... The whole of section C3 applies to Gyroplanes. There is no comparable requirement in section C1 (Aeroplanes) or C2 (Helicopters).

Nor in section C4 (Balloons, Airships) or C6 (Microlights etc) for that matter. I wonder what's so special about Gyroplanes that the ANO would requires Air Law (plus a few others actually) before first solo there, but not for any other aircraft type.
