OK I did not get it fully right, nevertheless, unless I've again not understood the rules:
For access to a new class (SEP to TMG or TMG to SEP) a LAPL must fly solo under supervision, a PPL may not.
If you loose your right to fly because you don't fly enough (it would be a SEP expiry for a PPL and a lack of recency for a LAPL, which are very similar things from a practical point of view) then to regain the right to fly you may fly solo under supervision if you have a LAPL, but you may not if you have a PPL.
I think that solo under supervision is a good thing and should be allowed for PPL holders whose SEP has expired.
