Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Additionally, we are reviewing the building regulations, which the noble Baroness, Lady McIntosh, mentioned, with a view to strengthening water efficiency standards, thereby reducing demand on the mains water system overall. The noble Baroness, Lady Parminter, mentioned the meeting in government. I do not know exactly where that meeting is taking place, but I will investigate and get back to her. Throughout this work, we must remain mindful of not imposing blanket requirements, as a one-size-fits-all mandate may not be suitable in all local contexts. It could instead risk unintended consequences, such as increased expenses for developers and homeowners.
