Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the proportion of employers who offer apprenticeships to 16 to 19-year olds in (a) Woking constituency, (b) Surrey, (c) the South East and (d) England.

We do not directly collect information that measures the proportion of employers who offer apprenticeships.

The Department has also released research looking at the incidence of apprenticeships by industry sector and size, including breakdowns by local authority district and regional levels.
