Simon Walker, IoD director-general said that the institute wouldn’t be supporting remaining in the EU “come what may” and argued that Britain should be concentrate on being a leading force for deregulation inside the bloc.

Hannan made the remarks after German lender Deutsche Bank launched a probe into whether to move its operations out of the UK in the event of a “Brexit”. The news came after JCB chairman Lord Bamford backed an exit from the EU.
