Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many apprenticeship starts there were in (a) May, (b) June and (c) July 2017.

The table below provides provisional figures of the number of apprenticeship starts in England between May and July 2017 by month.

Notes:

Figures are rounded to the nearest hundred.

We currently publish apprenticeship starts on a quarterly basis. However, the Department is undergoing a review of the further education and skills statistical first release and as part of this, monthly breakdowns may be provided in future.
