Scottish Enterprise chief in second job row

The chief executive of Scottish Enterprise is under pressure to quit her lucrative second job with a private FTSE 100 company, after it emerged it had paid no net UK corporation tax for a decade.

Lena Wilson receives an additional £55,000 for one day a month as a non-executive director of Intertek Group plc.

Intertek, which runs industrial testing laboratories across the globe, paid no UK corporation tax in 2011 despite a pre-tax profit of £213 million. It did pay tax to foreign governments.
