During the implementation period, EU citizens coming to the UK and UK nationals going to the EU will be able to live, work and study broadly as they do now. Therefore, employers taking on apprentices who are covered by the Withdrawal Agreement, will continue to be able to access funding beyond March 2019. Once an eligible individual has started an apprenticeship, we will always fund them through to completion as long as they retain their eligibility to work in UK.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 09/07/2018 13:48:49 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton previous answer version 68142 answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
