I agree with my hon. Friend; this measure will not only lower bills, but reduce demand for energy at this critical point, where energy security is so important around the world and also in our country.
Bob Blackman (Harrow East) (Con)
One way we could improve energy efficiency is by ensuring that new homes are energy-efficient. Will my right hon. Friend put pressure on developers to ensure that they are called to follow modern efficiency standards rather than the old ones?
Alok Sharma
Having modern, up-to-date standards is vital, and I will make sure I raise this with the appropriate Department.
