To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the tenth special report of the Environmental Audit Committee, published on 24 October 2018 on Heatwaves: adapting to climate change: Government Response to the Committee's ninth report, HC 826, whether his Department plans to conduct a consultation on reducing overheating risk in new homes.

Answer

In the Government’s response to the Environmental Audit Committee’s enquiry into heatwaves we committed to consult on a method for reducing overheating risk in new homes. This will be part of the Government’s consultation on the energy efficiency and ventilation standards of the Building Regulations. We intend to consult on any proposed changes later this year.
