Larger companies will come under more scrutiny after a string of sexual assault allegations emerged at influential firms in the City.

The Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority set out the proposals for regulatory change as part of a 12-week consultation.

Furthermore, influential business lobbying group the Confederation of British Industry has battled for survival after more than a dozen women came forward with allegations that they were sexually harassed while working for the company. Two women said they were raped by colleagues.
