That this House welcomes the news that National Express, one of the UK's largest transport providers, has become a living wage employer; notes that the operator's decision to pay the living wage will benefit thousands of its staff across the country, making them the West Midlands' largest living wage employer; further notes that this shows the way forward for other transport operators; and calls on other transport operators and businesses to follow National Express' example and pay the living wage.
