While these costs would be expected to be recovered from consumer electricity bills, the interactions with other bill components mean there are uncertainties preventing a precise estimate of the impact.</p> answering member constituency Rutherglen answering member printed Michael Shanks question first answered 18/10/2024 11:32:19 answering member 4998 label Biography information for Michael Shanks
