UK’s business lobby group favour EU membership - CBI Survey
A majority of Britain’s biggest business groups have shown a clear preference for staying inside the EU, as the employers view a referendum vote to leave as a threat to the UK’s prosperity.
They believe that their businesses would suffer drastically should Brexit become a reality, as a lack of access to the single market; the UK would lose out the competitive edge against countries inside the trading bloc.
A clear majority of 80% of the UK businesses said Britain remaining inside the European Union (EU) was best for their trade, while only 5% favoured leaving the common bloc, with 15% still undecided, a survey conducted by the Confederation of British Industries (CBI) revealed on Tuesday.
