Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Public Sector Apprenticeships Target, how many apprentices were employed in his Department in the financial year 2021-22; and what percentage of the total workforce in 2021-2022 were apprentices.
Final figures for apprenticeships in 2021-22 are not yet available. The Cabinet Office, on behalf of the Civil Service, will be publishing a full breakdown of departmental performance on apprenticeships in the Autumn in line with previous years.
Data for all departments between 2017 and 2021 is available on gov.uk and shows the department recruited 84 apprentices, equivalent to 3.2% of headcount during 2020/21.
