Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities whether there are any plans to introduce a minimum energy efficiency standard for the private rented housing sector.

Answer:

My Department is currently carrying out a review of the role and regulation of the private rented sector. The standard of properties, including plans to introduce a minimum energy efficiency standard for the private rented housing sector, is within the scope of the review. Proposals for change resulting from the review will be published for consultation in January 2017.
