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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he plans to take to ensure that the advice provided in the European Commission recommendations document EU 2019/1019, on reducing CO2 emissions, is distributed widely throughout the construction industry; and if he will make a statement.

The UK will take account of these recommendations in implementing the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2018/844/EU.

The Directive will be implemented through revised legislation and associated guidance which will be published to help those affected, including the construction industry, to meet the new requirements.
