To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are considering introducing statutory zero-carbon building standards.
In March 2026, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government published an update to the energy efficiency standards in the Building Regulations: the Future Homes Standard (FHS).
Under this new standard, which will come into force from March 2027, all new homes will need to have excellent insulation, low carbon heating systems, and in most cases, solar panels to boost our energy security with clean, homegrown power. New homes built to these standards will be zero carbon ready, meaning they will become zero carbon once the national grid is fully decarbonised and will require no further retrofitting to meet net zero.

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure regular, independent assessment of the safety of high-risk complex buildings similar to that required for bridges and tunnels.
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced a new regime to improve the safety of higher-risk residential buildings, overseen by the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). Dutyholders must report safety issues, maintain a golden thread of information, produce a safety case report, and engage residents.
Through the building assessment certificate process, the BSR assesses whether dutyholders are meeting their legal duties and taking reasonable steps to manage building safety risks. These measures provide independent oversight and support the ongoing management of building safety risks.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent estimate has been made of the cost incurred by accountable persons for time spent by the Building Safety Regulator to determine building assessment certificate applications.
The cost of a Building Assessment Certificate application varies due to the application's complexity and quality. For applications submitted and determined between 1st January 2025 and 31st March 2026, the average cost is £15,561.
The Building Safety Regulator’s recent announcement of a reset in its approach to Building Assessment Certificates will result in a more proportionate and efficient approach, with more support for Principle Accountable Persons (PAPs). These changes are expected to result in lower average costs for PAPs and, ultimately, residents and leaseholders.
