Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 19 April 2006 in the House of Commons, by Yvette Cooper (Labour), Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
Building Regulations
- Answer
-
We are making higher energy efficiency standards compulsory. From this April, it will be compulsory to increase the energy efficiency standards in new homes by 40 per cent. compared with 2002. The hon. Gentleman might not be listening, but that is compulsory. It is a real and tangible policy to deliver energy efficiency for warm homes, not just warm words.
This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 19 April 2006 by Andrew Selous (Conservative).
- Question
- Why do the Government not make higher environmental standards compulsory for new homes, given that companies such as Bedfordshire-based Agrifibre Technologies can build highly energy efficient homes for as little as £40,000 each?
