Oral Answers to Questions

Clive Lewis Excerpts

Monday 30th October 2017 Commons Chamber

[Clive Lewis (Norwich South) (Lab)]

T10. Will the Government commit to fast-tracking their private rented sector consultation so that landlords are required to use their own funds to bring properties up to energy performance certificate band E by April next year?

[Sajid Javid]

That would have been done sooner if the previous Labour Government had taken the private rented sector more seriously, which they refused to do. I am pleased that the hon. Gentleman welcomes our consultation.
