The funds in apprenticeship service accounts are available for levy paying employers to use for 24 months before they begin to expire on a rolling, month by month basis. Employers began to pay the apprenticeship levy in April 2017 and unused levy funds began to expire in May 2019.<\/p>

The attached table shows the figures for monthly levy expiry from May 2019 to date.<\/p>

The levy is an important part of our reforms to apprenticeships which are vital for driving our economic recovery. It supports employers of all sizes to invest in high quality apprenticeship training. In the 2021-22 financial year, funding available for investment in apprenticeships in England will remain around £2.5 billion \u2013 double that spent in the 2010-11 financial year in cash terms.<\/p>

We do not anticipate that all employers who pay the levy will need or want to use all the funds available to them, but they are able to if they wish. As well as funding new apprenticeships in levy paying employers, income from the levy is used to fund new apprenticeships in employers that do not pay the levy, as well as existing apprentices that started in previous years.<\/p>

The funds available to levy paying employers through their apprenticeship service accounts are not the same as the Department for Education\u2019s annual apprenticeships budget. The annual apprenticeship budget is set by Her Majesty's Treasury, and although closely linked, is distinct from the total levy income collected by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.<\/p>

The Restart Grants announced by my Rt. Hon. Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer on 3 March 2021 are one-off grants to businesses in the non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure, personal care and accommodation sectors, to support businesses to reopen as Covid-19 restrictions are relaxed.<\/p>

<\/p>

Strand One of the Restart Grants aims to support non-essential retail with grants of up to £6,000. Stand Two is to support hospitality, accommodation, leisure, personal care and gym businesses, with grants of up to £18,000. The higher amount is in recognition that these sectors will have been allowed to open at a later date and are likely to be more severely impacted by remaining restrictions.<\/p>

<\/p>

The main service principle will determine which threshold of funding a business receives. Businesses will need to declare which is their main service. Local Authorities will need to exercise their reasonable judgement to determine\u202fwhether or not\u202fa business is eligible for grants, and under which funding threshold, and be satisfied that they have taken reasonable and practicable steps to pay eligible businesses, and to pay them the correct amount.<\/p>

<\/p>

Local Authorities in England have also been allocated £2bn in additional funding via the Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG), to provide essential support that best suits their area. The latest FAQs issued to Local Authorities on 6 May explain that ARG funding can be used as a top-up for businesses that are in receipt of grants under other schemes.<\/p>

Since the Department for Work and Pensions launched the Kickstart Scheme in September 2020, over 20,000 young people on Universal Credit between the ages of 16 and 24 have started a Kickstart job. These funded, meaningful six-month jobs also provide support to improve the longer-term employability of the young people. We are not currently able to provide the age of participants on the Kickstart Scheme.<\/p>

<\/p>

The table below lists the total number of starts to the scheme from October 2020 until January 2021 and by month since then. Almost 1,000 non-grant funded Kickstart jobs are included in the totals and statistics have been rounded to the nearest 10 job starts as per standard DWP statistical practice, except for October 2020 where there were only 5 starts recorded.<\/p>

<\/p>

Although care is taken when processing and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system which has been developed quickly. The management information presented here has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics, but is provided in the interests of transparency. Work is ongoing to improve the quality of information available for the programme.<\/p>

We are lowering the reconciliation threshold of the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) grant funded Adult Education Budget (AEB) (AEB adult skills including non-formula funded community learning and 19-24 traineeships) for 2020 to 2021, from 97% to 90%. This will mean that colleges that have under-delivered on this provision will be able to retain more funding than they normally would.<\/p>

The allocations for the COVID-19 skills offer, including funding for the new level 3 adult offer, are ringfenced and the reconciliation threshold for under-delivery of this provision will remain at 97%.<\/p>

Our primary aim is to support providers to continue to deliver as much quality provision as possible, including above the 90% threshold, whether that be face-to-face where permitted, online, or otherwise remotely. This includes sub-contracting (for AEB-funded provision only) where that is in line with our subcontracting conditions set out in the rules and contracts.<\/p>

Our latest data shows that a threshold of 90% is a fair representation of the providers\u2019 average forecasted delivery for the 2020/21 academic year.<\/p>

We acknowledge the situation is still difficult for providers. Equally, we know that many providers have been able to deliver successfully remotely during lockdown. The return to face-to-face learning should further enhance providers\u2019 ability to deliver.<\/p>

For colleges who are eligible and are at risk of insolvency, they would be supported by the Insolvency Regime or the Emergency funding process.<\/p>

This 90% threshold is the final position for the 2020/2021 academic year and will not be subject to change. There will not be a business case process. In areas where the AEB has been devolved, Mayoral Combined Authorities and Greater London Authority are responsible for considering any provider flexibilities in their areas.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4680", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gillian Keegan"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chichester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Gillian Keegan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-04-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "180464"} , {"_value" : "180465"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-04-20T16:55:33.887Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-04-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Adult Education: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what equality impact assessment he has made of the decision to claw back adult education funding from 2020-21 Adult Education Budget grant-funded providers.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3952", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Toby Perkins"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chesterfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Toby Perkins"} ], "uin" : "180463"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1308511", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1308511/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
