<p>The expansion of the programme began in late 2018 due to procuring new training
providers to fully meet the requirements of the House and, following their appointment,
the programme has expanded quickly and will continue to do so. As a result for the
financial year 2018–2019 the House has spent just £38,452 (9%) of its Levy, all of
it on training apprentices.</p><p>The House has approximately £383,500 of the Levy
remaining to the end of the 2018–19 financial year. The House is already using this
amount for the full expansion of its apprenticeship programme and the ongoing enrolment
of apprentices onto training. This includes the portion of the Levy funds allocated
to be spent by Parliamentary Digital Services, who are planning their apprenticeships
for 2019.</p><p>Of the 2018/2019 funds remaining the House will continue to spend
these on apprenticeships for the coming year. These funds are not constrained by the
financial years and are available on a rolling basis.</p>
