Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have analysed the income from the apprenticeship levy on an industry by industry basis; whether they have made a comparative analysis of (1) that income, and (2) the number of apprentices in each industry; and if so, whether they will publish the results of any such analyses.

Before the introduction of the apprenticeship levy, we forecast the expected levy income on an industry by industry basis. This forecast is attached.

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) collects the levy on behalf of Her Majesty’s Government. HMRC has not yet analysed the income received from the Apprenticeship Levy on an industry by industry basis.

We published apprenticeship starts data on an industry by industry basis on 25 October 2018. This publication is attached.
