A standard driving licence issued in 1998 does not include category D1 entitlement. So your partner can't drive a minibus unless he's complying with all of the conditions in bold type under Section 2 of this leaflet:

He can drive up to an 8 seater

hi just to let everyone know that, you are insured to drive up to an 8 seater on your own car insurance but you can drive up to a 12 seater if its from a hire company as they have special insurance
