Apprentices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what engagement his department has had with devolved administrations regarding to access to apprenticeship programmes in England for roles where there is a critical shortage of fully trained tradespeople.
Answered by Andrew Western
Funding for apprenticeships and skills is a devolved matter. This government is committed to engaging with the devolved governments on skills policy, including on the development of the growth and skills levy for England, to share best practice and support one another in boosting growth and spreading opportunity throughout the UK.
