The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when his Department intends to publish the Future Homes Standard.

Answered by Samantha Dixon

The Government understands the urgency of introducing new energy efficiency standards so that as many homes as possible are highly efficient and use low-carbon heating. We are carefully considering at what level to set the technical requirements of the Future Homes Standard to deliver an ambitious standard that is on track to achieve our net zero ambitions while also being achievable across the country. The Future Homes Standard will be delivered in the coming months.
