	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

	tabling member printed	Mr John Hayes
	uin	191286
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>Our new high quality apprenticeship standards are developed by employers and contain the skills, knowledge and behaviours that an apprentice needs to be occupationally competent, including science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) content where appropriate. Employers are able to choose the standards that best suit their needs and can determine how off the job training content is delivered. We have therefore not made an assessment of the costs to employers of providing STEM off the job training content.</p><p>The criteria that the Institute for Apprenticeships uses to decide the level of STEM content required by apprenticeship standards is a matter for the Institute. I have asked its Chief Executive, Sir Gerry Berragan, to write to the right hon. Member and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 22/11/2018 15:21:58 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
