Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the average time taken was for a decision to be made on Access to Work requests made by apprentices in the last 12 months.

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

However, the Access to Work statistics includes how many applications result in provision being approved from 2007/08 to 2021/23.
