LONDON, United Kingdom — Britain’s main business lobby group, the CBI, has sacked Director General Tony Danker following a probe into allegations of sexual misconduct, it announced Tuesday. “The allegations that have been made over recent weeks about the CBI have been devastating,” Tuesday’s statement said. The CBI announced that Rain Newton-Smith, a former chief economist at the group, had agreed to rejoin as its new director general. Advertisement“We know it will take time for these steps to make a difference and rebuild trust,” the CBI said. The revelations have caused member companies and the UK government to distance themselves from the lobby group.
