Apprentices
Mr. Love:
To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills how many people completed apprenticeships in (a) the first year for which data are available and (b) the most recent year for which data are available, broken down by local authority. [202125]

Figures at local authority level on the number of people completing apprenticeship frameworks are only available from 2002-03. The following table provides the breakdown of apprenticeship completions by local authority area in 2002-03 and 2005-06, which is the latest information available.
