answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The attached table provides figures for apprenticeship starts for each month since May 2017, when significant structural changes to the apprenticeship funding system were implemented following the introduction of the apprenticeship levy and apprenticeship service.</p><p>The profile of apprenticeship starts changed significantly both in the run-up to the introduction of the levy and subsequently. Care should be taken when comparing individual months between academic years as they are unlikely to provide a meaningful year-on-year trend. Numbers of reported starts are likely to change as the reforms to apprenticeship funding continue to bed in and employers engage with the new system.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 13/05/2019 16:16:21 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton attachment 1 file name 252118_table.doc title 252118_table
