Business leaders urge UK government to avoid no-deal Brexit

Pressure follows survey that showed over three-quarters of company bosses want a deal

Business leaders have heaped pressure on the government to agree a last-minute Brexit trade deal after a survey showed that more than three-quarters backed an agreement with Brussels.

The CBI warned ministers that only 4% of company bosses from a survey of 648 said they supported a no deal Brexit, while 77% said they wanted a deal.
