A Bill to require providers of rental accommodation to ensure that the accommodation complies with certain minimum standards of thermal insulation; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons

This Bill would require landlords and other rental providers to ensure rental homes meet minimum thermal insulation standards. Regulations would define the exact standards and any updates, and local authorities would have powers to monitor and enforce compliance.
The Bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to detailed scrutiny in a committee, before progressing to the Lords.
