Written Question
Apprentices: Taxation
Tuesday 12th July 2016

Asked by: Philip Boswell (Scottish National Party - Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect of the proposed Apprenticeship Levy on Barnett consequentials.

Answered by Greg Hands

We applied the Barnett Formula in the usual way to changes in departmental budgets at the 2015 Spending Review, which included spending funded by the levy. We are working closely with the devolved administrations to ensure that the share of the levy they receive is fair and transparent, and to make the system work for employers wherever they are in the UK.

Asked by: Philip Boswell (Scottish National Party - Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with Minister of the Scottish Government on the proposed Apprenticeship Levy.

We are working with the Scottish Government and the other devolved administrations to ensure they can get their fair share of the levy and, as far as possible, to develop a system for administering the levy which complements the skills and apprenticeship policies of each of the devolved administrations.
