Although not directly employed by Avanti West Coast, its cleaning suppliers are contracted to ensure, as a minimum, that Avanti West Coast cleaning staff receive the real living wage, or London living wage. Avanti West Coast also holds and must maintain a living wage accreditation. I will write to you shortly to address your other points raised, including on minimum pay conditions on other operators.
