Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the draft action plan produced by the energy efficiency taskforce included a recommendation to introduce higher minimum energy efficiency standards for the private rented sector.
The Energy Efficiency Taskforce was established to support the Government with its target to reduce total UK energy demand by 15% from 2021 levels by 2030. My Rt. Hon Friend the Secretary of State has, after careful deliberation, concluded that the draft work can be streamlined into other Government activity. No finalised product was produced.
