Apprenticeship levy "disastrous" says EEF

The government's apprenticeship levy has been slammed as "disastrous," according to the chair of the EEF manufacturers' body.

Dame Judith Hackitt will be discussing the levy in a speech at the EEF's annual dinner, attended by Business Secretary Greg Clark. The BBC reports that she will say the levy is seen as just another tax on business, and that the scheme needs a complete overhaul.
