Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how many apprenticeships have been created in the Law Officers' Departments in each region in each of the last five years; and how many participants in those apprenticeships subsequently secured a job within the Civil Service.
In light of the Government’s manifesto commitment to achieve three million new apprenticeship starts in England by the end of the Parliament, the Cabinet Office will be centrally collecting data on apprenticeships to allow the Civil Service to report on its contribution towards the national target.
Crown Prosecution Service employed 491apprentices, 194 apprentices have secured a permanent post prior to the 2016 intake of Apprentices.
Serious Fraud Office employed 19 apprentices, 12 apprentices have secured a permanent post.
Government Legal Department employed 9 apprentices; all have been or will be offered a permanent post.
Attorney General’s Office and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecutions Inspectorate have had no apprentices over this time.
