Following the Government's announcement this lunchtime concerning its Code for Sustainable Housing, Roger Humber, Strategic Policy Adviser to the House Builders Association (HBA), a division of the National Federation of Builders, said:
�This package offers no effective blue print for the future and no effective proposals for reducing carbon emissions for the existing stock of 25 million homes.
�The Government needs to concentrate on cost effective and deliverable proposals in this area, rather than empty gestures.
�The House Builders Association has developed concrete proposals that any Local Authority could adopt and implement forthwith in conjunction with its Decent Homes programme."
