This is key to our approach – putting employers at the heart of T level development to specify the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to succeed in their industries.</p><p>Hospitality occupations also fall within the Catering and Hospitality technical education route. The hospitality pathway within this route will be delivered via apprenticeships only and we do not intend to develop T levels for this area.</p><p>Occupational maps define the routes and pathways, and are owned by the Institute for Apprenticeships, who carried out a consultation on the maps earlier this year.

The department is committed to delivering up to 10,000 modern prison places providing the physical conditions for Governors to achieve better educational, training and rehabilitative outcomes.</p><p>There are a variety of factors that inform decisions to classify prison accommodation as being unfit for purpose. These include physical condition, age, cost of maintenance and/or operation, strategic fit with demand and needs of the prisoner population, rehabilitative suitability, access to services and the number of hours a prisoner would spend in their cell.</p><p>No further decisions have been made about future prison closures beyond those which have already been announced.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 17/09/2018 16:55:29 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>On Friday 27 July 2018 (the closest date to 31 July for which data is available), 533 double cells and 407 single cells were occupied at HM Prison and Young Offender Institution Berwyn. On the same day there were 163 unoccupied single cells in the prison.</p><p> </p><p>Since opening Berwyn has been increasing its capacity each week as staffing levels and regime have allowed in order to maintain stability. As at the 27 July the prison’s operational capacity was 1,195 places which was just under 60% of its full capacity of 2,106. The figure of 163 unoccupied cells will therefore include some cells that are currently not available.</p><p> </p><p>As with any new prison, there has been a deliberate phased population increase at Berwyn since opening which continues to rise month on month.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart grouped question UIN 171716 question first answered 17/09/2018 16:49:10 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
