Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, if his Department will ensure that the number of apprenticeships funded in Wales through EU funding programmes is matched by the number of apprenticeships funded in Wales under the Shared Prosperity Fund.

Our manifesto committed to creating a UK Shared Prosperity Fund and work is ongoing across Government to consider how best this can be achieved. As per our commitment, we will of course consult the Welsh Government and other stakeholders across Wales and the UK at the earliest possible opportunity.
