The £3bn levy pot of 2019/20 would be split with £2.5bn going to apprenticeships in England and remaining £500m to devolved nations The treasury have said that despite the £100m reduction, the £2.5bn apprenticeship pot would remain unchanged. As for questions on whether the apprenticeship pot for Wales, Scotland and Ireland would be reduced to £400m, a Treasury spokesperson said they would be given “their fair share of the levy”
