Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether money paid by Welsh businesses via the Apprenticeship Levy is transferred in full to the Welsh Government.

While the Apprenticeship Levy is UK wide, apprenticeship policy and spending is devolved. This means that the devolved governments receive funding through the Barnett formula in relation to English apprenticeship spending as part of their block grant. It is for the devolved governments to allocate their funding in devolved areas as they see fit, including investing in their skills programmes.
