Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to require landlords to achieve an Energy Performance Certificate rating of C by 2030.

The Government will consult this year on increasing minimum energy efficiency standards in the domestic private rented sector. The consultation will include proposals for rented homes to achieve Energy Performance Certificate C or equivalent by 2030. We encourage landlords and other key stakeholders to feed into this important consultation when published. We will set out a legislative timetable in due course following the consultation and consideration of the responses.
