Electric Vehicles: Charging Points (15 March 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to ensure that charging infrastructure for plug-in electric cars is included in new housing developments.

Asked by:
Mr James Frith (Labour)

The Government’s Industrial Strategy, published in November 2017, sets out the ways in which the Government is supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The strategy includes a commitment to update Building Regulations to mandate that all new residential developments must contain the enabling cabling for charge-points in the home, taking account of the independent review of Building Regulations and fire safety being undertaken by Dame Judith Hackitt.
