	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Information on the apprenticeship levy collected by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and spent in each local authority or region of the UK is not available in the format requested. Many larger levy-paying employers are headquartered in one region but employ staff across the country meaning that we cannot attribute the levy collected and spent in individual locations. Individual employers have control of the expenditure of apprenticeship funds based on their current and future skills needs.</p><p>Information on the number of apprenticeships funded in each region or local authority district is not available. However, we can provide the numbers of apprentices that have had some or all of their apprenticeship supported through levy funds based on their home postcode. Please see the attached files for levy-supported apprenticeship starts by region or local authority district; these figures are from May 2017, when changes to the apprenticeship funding system were implemented following the introduction of the levy, to April 2018.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton attachment 1 file name 191417_table_of_levy_supported_apprenticeship_starts_by_local_authority_district.pdf title Table_of_levy_supported_starts_by_LAD 2 file name 191417_table_of_levy_supported_apprenticeship_starts_by_region.pdf title Table_of_levy_supported_starts_by_region question first answered 19/11/2018 16:35:29 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>The department does not collect information on the subjects offered by individual institutions. However, the number of students entering each subject can be provided as a proxy, and this data is available at institutional level from 2011/12. Between 2011/12 and 2016/17, there have been 99 sixth form colleges that were open for at least one year. The attached table gives the number of pupils entering each subject at each institution for each year.</p><p>Some sixth form colleges were not always open, have since closed, or have converted to academies (these are denoted as ‘-’ in the figures). Having zero entries into a subject does not necessarily mean that the subject was not offered by the sixth form in that year - it could be the case that no students chose to enter it or if they did, they sat no exams in that particular year. Some sixth forms also have small cohorts of students and therefore the numbers entering different subjects is naturally low and prone to fluctuation; this could lead some sixth forms to have no entries in particular years.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 15/11/2018 13:38:51 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton attachment 1 file name Table_for_188729_of_students_entering_subjects_at_sixth_form_colleges.xls title Table_for_188729_of_students_at_sixth_form_college
