Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans he has to allocated funding for the UK's participation in the European Apprentice Network after the UK leaves the EU.

There have been no decisions taken on the UK’s participation in the European Apprenticeship Network because the future scope of the programme has yet to be agreed. Our participation will be a matter for negotiations about our future relationship with the EU.

We will seek to continue to take part in specific policies and programmes which are in the UK and the EU’s joint interest, such as those that promote science, education and culture.
