tabling member constituency	Warrington North
tabling member printed	Helen Jones
uin	14492
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2015 answer text <p>Apprenticeships are a cornerstone of our skills system. The levy will drive growth in quality and quantity in apprenticeships and further details will be set out at the Spending Review. Provisional information shows that there have been 6,470 apprenticeship starts in Warrington North since May 2010. There have been over 78,000 apprenticeship starts in the North West over the same period with a 51% increase in starts from 2009/10 to 2013/14. The levy will ensure we can build on that success over the next five years by putting the funding of apprenticeships in the hands of employers in the North West.</p><br /> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 06/11/2015 12:45:07 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
