Here are the climate-related sections of speeches by MPs during the Commons debate New Homes: Minimum EPC Rating.
Matthew Pennycook (Labour)
The December 2021 uplift to energy-efficiency standards means that most new build homes already achieve EPC ratings of A or B. As recently announced, the Government intend to introduce future standards in the autumn that will set more ambitious energy-efficiency and carbon emissions requirements for new homes to ensure that they are net zero-ready.
