Hi, Found it.
1.1 It is often thought that flying training is not permitted in private 
aircraft,
or at least that only a limited amount of training is allowed. In
fact, there is no restriction on training in private aircraft, but as with any
activity in an aircraft that is normally only used for private recreational
purposes there are restrictions on what can be paid1 for in relation to the 
flight.
1.2 The basic position is that if someone pays for something in relation to a 
flight,
the flight is no longer private, but either aerial work,
public transport or commercial air transport. Aircraft that operate under a 
Certificate
of Airworthiness (CofA) and are only maintained to a
standard appropriate for private use or aircraft that operate under a Permit to
Fly (hereafter jointly referred to as 'private aircraft') can only
be used for private flights.

Then it goes on further down  to this.

Note: Training for the initial issue of an NPPL, PPL, CPL, IMC Rating, 
Instrument
Rating or other 'ab initio' training is not permitted. The
intention is to allow individuals to pay for training that enables them to 
regain
currency, renew a licence, learn a new skill (such as
short field landings) or become familiar with a new type etc.

I never understand the wording of these things, But to me it looks like you 
can't,,
I think I will go along with that, unless someone tells me different..
