answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2015 answer text <p>All employers with a pay bill greater than £3,000,000 will be in scope of the apprenticeships levy, including those in the construction and engineering construction sectors. We are working with the Industry Training Boards to understand how their existing arrangements will be affected. They will be consulting with their members in advance of the introduction of the apprenticeships levy on whether they should continue to pay the industry levy and if so, how it should be combined with the national apprenticeship levy. We are also working with other sectors, where there are existing collective training arrangements about what the apprenticeships levy means to them.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 09/12/2015 10:04:08 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
