Debate between Anne Milton and Priti Patel

Monday 14th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Priti Patel (Witham) (Con)]

What changes is the Minister considering to ensure that the apprenticeship levy can be used to fund the type of training schemes and shorter courses that employers are demanding and which will help to get more people back into work?

[Anne Milton]

The apprenticeship levy is designed to make sure we get the money into training and end-point assessment and is critical to driving up quality. One year of 20%-off-the-job training for apprenticeships will ensure a rise in the quality of training.
