Home - Policy Liaison Group for Future Homes

The Policy Liaison Group for Future Homes is a Westminster-based forum bringing together experts, parliamentarians, government officials, public bodies, and innovative leaders to accelerate the decarbonisation of UK homes.

The PLG convenes industry professionals at the cutting edge of sustainable home-building from across the supply chain, construction, and installation. Our mission is to facilitate real-world discussions on optimising energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, improving building air quality, and promoting at-home energy solutions. As a dedicated Westminster-based policy forum, the PLG aims to build cross-party consensus, supporting the development and delivery of effective policies for the construction sector. In addition, the Group will explore interdependencies with other sectors and stakeholders, notably energy companies.

Parliamentarians will gain valuable insight by engaging directly with frontline SME industry stakeholders, offering a clear understanding of the challenges the sector faces while highlighting opportunities for the UK as we transition to a greener economy.
