John Longworth, left, said he had 'no idea' if Downing Street had intervened with the British Chambers of Commerce amid demands for Number 10 to 'come clean' about its role. But speaking outside his Harrogate home today, Mr Longworth said he had made his own decision to resign to ensure he could continue to speak out about Brexit. Earlier today he blasted David Cameron, right today in Brussels, for making 'highly irresponsible' claims about the dangers of leaving the EU, insisting the Government had a duty to be measured and make preparations for either result. Mr Longworth was controversially suspended as director general last week after making his views clear at the BCC conference, despite the organisation being officially neutral on the EU question. Downing Street today continued to deny pressure was placed upon the BCC after Thursday's conference but officials have repeatedly refused to deny that officials contacted the BCC only hours before the business group suspended him.
