Labour would make all new homes zero carbon by 2022

Jeremy Corbyn to say new standard for housebuilders is part of the real change he is promising the country

Labour would introduce tough new standards forcing housebuilders to make new properties zero carbon within three years, Jeremy Corbyn is to announce.

The last Labour government introduced regulations to make all homes zero carbon by 2016, but the rules were scrapped by David Cameron less than a year before they were due to come into force.
