Recommendation (the committee's words)
We were told that local government needs additional resources to enforce minimum energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector. Resources should be made available for this purpose. Enforcement would also be aided by the introduction of a register of landlords, as already undertaken in certain local authorities, and we are pleased to hear the Government is considering this as an option. This register must be compulsory and local authorities must have enforcement powers to ensure registration.
