EU vote: CBI tells employers to 'turn up volume' on benefits of UK membership

Employers' organisation urges businesses to make stronger and clearer case for Europe as isolation fears grow

Britain's leading employers' organisation will urge its members "to turn up the volume" about the benefits of EU membership amid concerns that a vote to exit in the referendum would lead to isolation.

Sir Mike Rake, president of the CBI, will tell the organisation's annual dinner in London that businesses have to make a stronger argument for Europe in language that makes sense to the public.

Business must be crystal clear that membership is in our national interest
