answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>There has been a long standing commitment that Wales will get its fair share from this levy. Last month, HM Treasury announced that £128m, £133m and £138m will be allocated to Wales in the first, second and third years of the levy respectively. On top of this, the UK Government has committed additional funding for Wales of £13.7m in the first and £6.2m in the second year to ensure that Wales receives its fair share of any under spend that occurs in the adjustment period.</p><p> </p><p>Skills policy is a devolved matter in Wales, and therefore it is up to the Welsh Government to decide what proportion of this funding is allocated to apprenticeships and skills policy.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 06/12/2016 17:34:02 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
