Information on Welsh-speaking staff in prisons is not, and has never been, collected and so the data requested is not available.

Our Welsh Language Scheme is currently under review, and we will continue to work with the Welsh Language Commissioner to ensure that the linguistic needs of Welsh speaking prisoners are met.
