Apprenticeship Levy: Wales
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much funding was raised by the Apprenticeship Levy from employers primarily based in Wales in each of the past five years.
Answered by James Murray
UIN 91154 - While the Apprenticeship Levy is UK wide, apprenticeship policy and spending is devolved. This means that the devolved governments receive funding through the Barnett formula in relation to English apprenticeship spending as part of their block grant. It is for the devolved governments to allocate their funding in devolved areas as they see fit, including investing in their skills programmes.
UIN 91152 - Reliable estimates of the revenue raised from the Apprenticeship Levy from businesses who work across the UK but have a presence in Wales are not available.
