Question: To ask the Minister for Communities whether she has given consideration to the introduction of legislation similar to the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015.
Answer:
On 10 January I published proposals for change for the private rented sector as a result of an extensive 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. The public consultation on the proposals closes on 3 April 2017.
