answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2020 answer text <p>Minimum energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector are backed up by strong enforcement powers for local authorities, including heavy fines. Recognising the importance of these standards, the Government is considering a range of measures to improve enforcement, striking the right balance between focusing on supporting good landlords and tackling those who wilfully flout their obligations.</p><p>In April 2018, using powers under the Housing and Planning Act 2016, we introduced a national database of rogue landlords and letting agents. We are committed to broadening access to this database when parliamentary time allows.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 22/07/2020 16:31:10 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
