While we agree with the intent of the amendment, it is not necessary to include it in the Bill as it would pre-empt the publication of the future homes standard, which has been developed following close consultation with industry and other stakeholders. The standard will include the necessary exemptions and guidance to achieve a smooth implementation and ensure that the majority of new homes are built with solar panels in the years to come. For these reasons, I kindly ask the noble Baroness not to press her amendment.
