start an apprenticeship, has been recorded with the Apprenticeship Service). Of these
transferred commitments as at 31 January 2019, there were 130 transferred commitments
that had materialised into apprenticeship starts. More information is available at:

</p><p>Information on companies transferring apprenticeship levy funds in each region
of England is not held centrally. Many levy-paying employers are headquartered in
one region but operate across the country meaning that we cannot attribute levy-funds
transferred in individual locations. Individual employers have control of the expenditure
(and transfer) of apprenticeship levy funds based on their current and future skills
needs.</p>
