Rishi Sunak is planning to delay energy efficiency targets for rented homes following pressure from landlords about the cost of the improvements

The source said:"More generally, we recognise that the EPC system which was designed as an informational tool to meet the requirement of EU membership, needs fundamental reform. Further details will be set out as soon as possible."

"Letting landlords off the hook will only further risk the government missing its legally binding climate and fuel poverty targets, never mind playing politics with the lives of the elderly and the vulnerable as we head into another difficult winter." The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said plans to force manufacturers to cover the costs of collecting and recycling packaging will be pushed back by a year to help drive down inflation.
