Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many employers who (a) pay and (b) do not pay the apprenticeship levy started new learners on apprenticeship programmes in the 2023-24 financial year.

The below table shows the number of apprenticeship service employers accounts with apprenticeship starts in the 2023/24 academic year.

The figures are for the number of employer accounts instead of employers. An employer may have more than one apprenticeship service employer account.
