Members of The Hundred Group, the top bean-counters in Britain, have been considering whether to take a public position on the upcoming referendum poll on Brexit. The group members are the finance directors of Britain's largest listed as well as private companies. They are being surveyed to take a stance over the referendum subject related to the UK membership of the European Union (EU).

Chief of the Britain's top business companies are being asked to explain their personal and corporate views on Brexit. The consensus survey asks the group members whether they started to sketch out plans for a decision on leaving the EU as well as its possible consequences. The survey appears following difficult past experiences in cases of other membership based business organizations prior to the referendum, reports Sky News.

John Longworth, former director general for the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), has been compelled to resign following his expression of a pro-Brexit opinion. He has been accused of flouting BCC's neutral stance over the issue.

After the resignation, Mr. Longworth has joined to 'Vote Leave' as chair of its business committee. 'Vote Leave' appears as one of the groups vying for becoming the official vocal for the 'out' campaign.
