THE Scottish Greens have called for a more “meaningful” windfall tax as Shell reported its second highest quarterly profit on record.
The energy giant said underlying profits reached $9.5 billion (£8.2bn) in the third quarter, compared to $4.2bn during the same period last year.
Oil and gas prices have surged since the Russian invasion of Ukraine with many major energy companies reporting huge profit increases at a time when many governments are having to step in to support consumers with bills.
