<p>We began an exercise in November to contact all contractors, and their subcontractors, which provide services to establish if they pay the London living wage (LLW) to workers assigned to our contracts. So far we have approached 757 service providers. We have identified six contractors where we are not yet satisfied that all staff are paid, the LLW. We are seeking assurances that this will be rectified by 7 April (the deadline agreed with the London Living Wage Foundation). We are working with the House of Lords because the majority of our contracts for services are bicameral.</p>
