Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding his Department has allocated to apprenticeships in each year since 2015; and how much such funding his Department allocated by region.
The department has made available £2.01 billion of funding for apprenticeships in the 2017-18 financial year. We do not allocate funding on a regional basis.
The table below sets out the total funding we have made available to apprenticeships for the financial years 2015-16 to 2017-18:
Financial year | 2015-16 | 2016-17 | 2017-18 |
Total funding £ (billion) | £1.54 | £1.81 | £2.01 |
