A SERIES of sex scandals has forced Britain’s biggest business organisation to pull the plug on all its parties.
Allegations of sexual assault and rape have forced the Confederation of British Industry, which represents 190,000 businesses, to act.
It has even scrubbed next month’s annual dinner, which would have been attended by the Governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey.
The move comes weeks after a worker accused chief executive Tony Danker, 51, of sexual harassment.
Mr Danker said his conduct was “completely unintentional” but he was forced to step down and remains under investigation.

And this week more than a dozen women alleged sexual misconduct by senior CBI staff.
One claimed she was raped at a staff party on a boat on the Thames in 2019.
A CBI spokesperson said: “In light of the very serious allegations currently subject to independent investigation, the CBI has decided to temporarily pause its external programme of events, including the annual dinner on 11 May.”
Initial investigation findings are expected after Easter.
