To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of appointments to HM Prison Berwyn have been of bilingual Welsh and English speakers; and what proportion such staff are of the total employed at that prison.

All external adverts for posts at HMP Berwyn have been published in both English and Welsh language.
Posts did not stipulate Welsh language skills as a requirement, but we expect Welsh and English to be spoken by at least some staff in all functional areas.
Data on the number of bilingual Welsh and English speakers appointed is not collected centrally.
