Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to recommend the installation of (1) solar panels, and (2) small wind turbines on all new houses.

Future standards next year will set our new homes and buildings on a path that moves away from relying on volatile fossil fuels and ensures they are fit for a net zero future. This will support our ambition that the 1.5 million homes we will build over the course of this parliament will be high quality, well designed and sustainable. That is why the Deputy Prime Minister and I are clear that rooftop solar and other renewable technology should play an important role, where appropriate, as part of the future standards for homes and buildings.
