To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what percentage of apprenticeship training providers funded by the Learning and Skills Council were employers in each year since 1997. (128576)

Data on Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships are collected on the Learning and Skills Council's (LSC) Individualised Learner Record (ILR). The table shows the percentage of apprenticeship training providers funded by the LSC that were "private organisations in their own right" or "other private organisations". Included within these proportions are employers whose main business activity is the provision of education and training. We are unable to identify such employers separately.
