As someone who works in the local community, I am still shocked to see so many young and old people being forced to pay huge heating bills purely because they have to live in rented and sub-standard accommodation.

Why is the Government so reluctant to force private landlords to bring their properties up to basic, 21st-Century standards of heating and insulation?

Surely deadlines should be set for such basic requirements to be met.
