The research suggests that the cuts to what Cameron termed “green crap” cost some families as much as £1,000 in a single year. They add that if the rules had not been scrapped, a family in a house built in 2015 would have saved, on average, £2759.52 in the same period.
The paper says that the Code for Sustainable Homes was first launched in 2006 as a voluntary national standard for the construction of new homes with the intention that by 2016 all new homes would be ‘zero carbon’ - generating as much energy as possible on-site through renewable sources such as wind or solar power.
Of course Cameron couldn't scrap this code before 2015 because the Liberal Democrats in coalition would have stopped him. But as soon as he had a majority on his own he acted to remove most of the environmental friendly policies of the past decade.
It seems that Sunak is cut of the same cloth.

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.
Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.
I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.
Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.
The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
