London CNN —The head of the most influential business lobby in the United Kingdom has been fired following a probe into complaints about his workplace conduct. Tony Danker is leaving the Confederation of British Industry with immediate effect, the group said in a statement Tuesday. The CBI did not specify what wrongdoing it had found but stressed that Danker was “not the subject of any of the more recent allegations” of misconduct at the organization. Danker will be replaced by Rain Newton-Smith, the former chief economist of the CBI. Its director-generals and the organization have frequently weighed in on political and economic issues, from Brexit to the UK investment outlook.
