To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to consult on standards for improving energy efficiency in the social housing sector.

The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero announced on 23 September 2024 that the Government will consult on our plans to introduce minimum energy efficiency standards for social rented homes. The Government will publish a consultation on introducing minimum energy efficiency standards for the social rented sector in due course. This could take social homes out of fuel poverty, cutting energy bills by making homes cheaper to heat. A minimum energy efficiency standard for the social rented sector would form part of the Decent Homes Standard.

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
