Accompanying learner - insurance

[john_p]

Just wondering, does the accompanying passenger need to be insured third party on the vehicle as well as the learner driver?

If so, is this usually covered as standard if the named driver has a provisional insurance, or is it usually required that the passenger-in-charge is either a named driver or has 'third party on any car' as part of another policy etc?

Driver needs to be covered.....The supervisor is there as only a 'supervisor' (At least 21yrs of age and the holder of a full licence for 3 years or over.)
