Major British corporate names NatWest, John Lewis and Virgin Media O2 quit the Confederation of British Industry on Friday as a fresh media report about rape allegations deepened a crisis at the business group.

The CBI, which says it represents 190,000 businesses including many of Britain's biggest companies, could face a battle for survival as the number of companies cutting ties with it grows.

She blamed the CBI's culture for a lack of support after the incident, while sources told the paper that a third woman who said she had been stalked by a CBI colleague was discouraged from reporting it to police. "While the CBI was not previously aware of the most serious allegations, it is vital that they are thoroughly investigated now and we are liaising closely with the police," CBI President Brian McBride said.
