The department holds the overall number of starts on each apprenticeship standard but does not currently have published data on the number of Senior Leader starts.</p><p>We do not hold data on which apprenticeship standards levy-paying employers spend their apprenticeship funding on.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 09/07/2018 13:46:00 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton previous answer version 68144 answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
