Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist (HL2159), when they expect to publish the outcome of their consultation Energy Performance Certificates in Buildings, which closed on 26 July 2018.

The Government will publish a summary of responses to the Call for Evidence later this year. Alongside this, we intend to publish an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Action Plan which will build on the views expressed as part of the Call for Evidence, to set out a series of actions which the Government will take forward, and inform future policy thinking in order to maximise the effectiveness of EPCs in the future.
