Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will publish all correspondence between her predecessor and the (a) Minister for the Cabinet Office and (b) Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on the Government’s response to the consultation on Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards since March 2023.

In line with the practice of successive administrations, details of internal discussions are not normally disclosed.

I refer the Hon. Member to the Prime Minister’s statement made on the 20th September 2023 where he outlined the Government’s plans to deliver on UK commitments to reach net zero by 2050 in a pragmatic, proportionate and realistic way.
