Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will establish a freely accessible database for anonymised Whole Life-Cycle Carbon Assessment data of new buildings.

Considering embodied carbon of buildings is an important aspect of net zero. Progress is being made on tackling the operational carbon emissions, which will continue with the Future Homes and Buildings Standards. We have committed to consulting this year on our approach to the issue of embodied carbon.
