Hi @harrisonjohn,
As @Tiggytron mentioned above the insurance comes with the motability package and you can find out more about this by following this link
http://www.motability.co.uk/information-for-customers/car-insurance-cover/
It might be that you have a higher excess to pay if you're a new driver but I'm sure this will all be explained when you apply for a car.
Let us know how you get on with this.
Good luck with the driving lessons!
