Not sure what my opinion is on this yet, although my first thought is:

Why would learner drivers be any more dangerous on the motorway than on a non-motorway dual-carriageway?

In many ways, the motorway is safer - wider lanes, hard shoulder, etc. That works both ways though, you could make the argument that people can be given experience of multi-lane NSL dual-carriageways under the law as it stands.
