Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much was (a) budgeted for and (b) spent on traineeship programmes in each year since they were introduced in England.
The table below sets out the last three full financial years of data held by the department relating specifically to traineeships budget and spend.
Financial Year | Budget £ million | Spend £ million |
2019/20 | 49 | 50 |
2020/21 | 159 | 57 |
2021/22 | 189 | 62 |
Prior to this, traineeship financial data was incorporated as part of the department’s wider accounting and so specific data relating to Traineeships is currently unavailable.
