Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many staff are employed at each of the prisons in Wales; and how many of those staff are Welsh speakers.

The number of staff and self-reported Welsh language speakers in each Welsh prison can be found in the table below:

Headcount of staff in post on 30 September 2025.

Whether staff can speak Welsh is a self-reported variable, with the vast majority of staff not reporting this information, so the true numbers of Welsh speakers is likely to be higher.
