Rain Newton-Smith, the new director general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), is set to face MPs’ questions on Tuesday over whether the group can appropriately represent businesses.
The group is currently in the midst of a sexual misconduct scandal after rape allegations were made by members of staff about senior figures within the organisation. This has led to businesses ending their association with the CBI. Ms Newton-Smith previouslty said is “profoundly sorry” to women who have been let down.
