Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much her Department allocated to Enfield Council through the Apprenticeships Participation 18 plus Grant in each of the last ten years in real terms.

Funding available in the 2023/24 financial year for apprenticeships in England is £2.58 billion.

Funding for new apprenticeship starts is not allocated to individual areas, or by age. Rather, employers of all sizes across England can access funding to offer high-quality apprenticeships to help meet their skills needs.

Since 2010, there have been over 20,000 apprenticeship starts in Enfield local authority.

The department is unable to provide a breakdown of apprenticeship spending by region as it does not publish this data.
