To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-22415 by Patrick Harvie on 8 November 2023, what discussions it has subsequently had with Historic Environment Scotland on this topic. We are continuing to engage with Historic Environment Scotland to consider the particular needs of Scotland’s traditionally constructed homes, protected, and historic buildings in taking forward our commitments to decarbonise.The Scottish Government is committed to improving energy efficiency and decarbonising heating systems in Scotland’s buildings to support improvements in fuel poverty and to help meet our climate target to reach net zero by 2045.In April, the Acting Minister for Climate Action made a statement to Parliament that set out the Scottish Government’s plans to introduce a Heat in Buildings Bill later this session, and that it would be accompanied by the introduction of a minimum energy efficiency standard (MEES) in the private rented sector (PRS).We have now launched a consultation on proposed MEES regulations to be introduced in the domestic PRS.
