(asked on 23rd October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much funding from the apprenticeship levy was made available to Welsh police forces and the Welsh Government in the last financial year.
This question was answered on 6th November 2018
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive their share of the apprenticeship levy calculated in line with the Barnett formula. This will be £460 million for the period 2019 to 2020. Wales received £128 million in the period 2017 to 2018.
Skills, including apprenticeships, is a devolved matter. Therefore, it will be for the devolved administrations to decide how funds raised from the levy should be used in their administrations.
