Lord Whitehead (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 March 2026

Debate

Warm Home Discount (England and Wales) Regulations 2026

Contribution

What we are asking landlords to do under the Warm Homes Plan is an extension of some of the work done to uprate properties from band E, whereby landlords could put some money, with some exemptions, into improving their properties for rent. The limit that landlords can put in before being exempted is, I think, about £10,000, but it means a higher level of warmth and efficiency in the home. There is no evidence that large numbers of landlords went out of business or sold their homes under the last scheme in operation, and we are confident that that will not be the case on this occasion.
