Lord Geddes (Con)
My Lords, why is it not mandatory for all new buildings to be fitted with energy-saving devices such as solar or photovoltaics?
Lord Henley
My Lords, I think the owners of most new buildings go to a great deal of trouble to make sure that they are properly insulated. They have to be insulated up to a certain level. I will write to my noble friend in greater detail. Whether they want to go further and whether that should be mandatory is another question.
