Housing: Carbon Emissions

Asked by Dr Ellie ChownsGreen PartyMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 1 August 2024UIN 1615

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when she plans to publish her Department's response to the consultation entitled The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published on 13 November 2023.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Future Homes and Buildings Standards consultation was published in December 2023 and closed in March 2024, and a Government response has not yet been issued. We fully support the need for low carbon homes, fit for a net zero future. We are reviewing proposals and feedback from the Future Homes and Buildings Standards consultation and will publish the Government response in due course.
