The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when he plans to implement the Future Homes Standard.

Answered by Samantha Dixon

The Government understands the urgency of introducing new energy efficiency standards so as many homes as possible are highly efficient and use low-carbon heating.

We are committed to implementing the Future Homes Standard in the coming months, and are taking the time to set the technical requirements at a level which is ambitious and keeps us on track to achieve our net zero ambitions, while also being achievable across all sites.
