To ask Her Majesty’s Government what estimate they are using, in their preparations for an apprenticeship levy, of the approximate annual amount that the levy would raise from (1) private sector employers, and (2) public sector employers, in Scotland.

Various issues have been raised by a range of stakeholders including the Scottish Government. Discussions have taken place with stakeholdersat both official level and Ministerial level. Ministers will consider the issues in due course and we will announce further details at the Spending Review. Our priority is to ensure that the levy is fair and simple.
