| 11 Mar 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753) “I am interested in the EPC metrics. I have been banging on about EPC reform for a long time. What is the best way of designing those to drive down real bill reduction—both bill reduction and carbon savings?

| 11 Mar 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753) “Okay. I have one further question before I relinquish my right to speak for a bit—just for a bit.” | 19 |
| 11 Mar 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753) “Right, okay. It would be helpful, I think, from your evidence if we were to be able to summarise it as: the minimum energy efficiency standards need to be able to make sure that we have not just got guidelines but also resources for local authorities to be able to enforce them.

| 11 Mar 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753) “So we used to give landlords an allowance without them having a set of standards to apply.

| 11 Mar 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753) “Okay, I think that is politely put, Dr Boardman. What might be an effective way of changing this from exemptions to incentives, even if you maintain the cap?” | 28 |
| 11 Mar 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753) “Yes, I was interested in that because I am concerned that we have a set of energy efficiency standards that are not enforced, a cap which basically gives people a get-out and no incentive to do the right thing, which feels like the wrong set of rules.” | 47 |

| 11 Mar 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753) “There is a risk that we put a new set of standards in and unless we have a new enforcement regime, it will be as bad as the old one.” | 30 |
