The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has said it is suspending all policy and membership work until June after major firms ended their associations with the business group or suspended their membership following allegations of rape and sexual assault.

The exodus from the CBI came after a report that claimed a second woman had made a rape allegation - against two male CBI colleagues.

In a statement, it said: "We want to properly understand from our colleagues, members, experts and stakeholders how they envisage our future role and purpose. "This work and the cultural reform will be the entire and urgent focus of the organisation over the coming weeks." Meanwhile, pharmaceutical giants GSK and AstraZeneca, Marks & Spencer and several others announced they were putting their membership on hold.

Last week the British Insurance Brokers' Association said it had withdrawn its membership "in light of recent reports".
