CBI survives scandal and gains support for future lobbying efforts.

The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has won a confidence vote over its future after members overwhelmingly backed the lobby group following a series of scandals. The CBI said that 93% of the 371 members who voted backed its plans to reform the organisation. However, some companies such as engineering giant Rolls-Royce said its membership remains suspended. The CBI held the vote after the Guardian published allegations of sexual misconduct at the group, including two claims of rape which are currently being investigated by the City of London Police.
