Commentary on Sections

Section 4: English apprenticeships: funding arrangements

26.“Approved English apprenticeships” are to be funded by the Secretary of State under section 100 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (as amended by paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Act and paragraph 13 of Schedule 14 to the Act) or under another of the Secretary of State’s powers to fund such apprenticeships. The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs have agreed to administer apprenticeship payments on behalf of the Secretary of State. This section allows for these arrangements. Where such arrangements are made, the Commissioners may make regulations as to the administration of the payments. Apprenticeship payments may be paid to persons, such as employers of apprentices, for any purpose connected to approved English apprenticeships. Such payments include payments to encourage opportunities for individuals to do approved English apprenticeships or to work afterwards.

27.The section forms part of the law of England and Wales but it relates only to approved English apprenticeships. This section comes into force on a day to be appointed by the Secretary of State in a commencement order.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
