Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 172 to 175, inclusive, together.

The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the tabular statements. Formal forecasts and targets are developed for apprenticeship registrations. However, formal forecasts are not produced for the total apprenticeship population at any specific date. The actual apprenticeship population by area as at 31 March 2019 is set out in the tables.
