LONDON, April 11 (Reuters) - The Confederation of
British Industry, an employers group, named former chief
economist Rain Newton-Smith as its new director general on
Tuesday, replacing Tony Danker who was fired after an
investigation into complaints of workplace misconduct.
"The allegations that have been made over recent weeks about
the CBI have been devastating," it said in a statement.
"While investigations continue into a number of these, it is
already clear to all of us that there have been serious failings
in how we have acted as an organisation. We must do better, and
we must be better."
