If reference prices were higher or lower, the budget would change accordingly, and approximately the same capacity would likely be successful in the auction.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 30/04/2024 16:05:35 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
