I also support the sentiment in new clause 2, tabled by the hon. Member for Taunton and Wellington (Gideon Amos), that would require new homes to be built to a net zero carbon building standard and include provision for the generation of solar power. I hope, however, that he will welcome the announcement by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero on Friday that the future homes standard, when published later this year, will require all new homes, with a small number of exceptions, to include solar panels. Not everything we want to see happen needs to be included on the face of the Bill.
