answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>In February 2018, we published an assessment of costs that schools incur, including the financial impact of the apprenticeship levy. We estimated that over 16,000 schools (three quarters of the total) would pay a combined apprenticeship levy of around £110 million.</p><p>The assessment can be found at: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/678439/Schools_costs_technical_note.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/678439/Schools_costs_technical_note.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>As reported in the statistics publication ‘Public sector apprenticeships in England: 2017 to 2018’: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/public-sector-apprenticeships-in-england-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/public-sector-apprenticeships-in-england-2017-to-2018</a>, there were approximately 6,300 apprenticeship starts in schools between May 2017 and March 2018.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>The EU has agreed a Regulation which would allow for the continuation of flights between the UK and the EU for a period of 12 months if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. The Government has set out how it will reciprocate and allow flights by EU carriers between the EU and the UK to continue. The maritime sector is generally liberalised and neither the UK nor the EU expects there to be any issues with ferry services continuing to operate.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 11/04/2019 09:34:12 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
