Stephen Hester Bonus, The statement came after Stephen Hester, the Royal Bank of Scotland’s chief executive, bowed to mounting public and political pressure and agreed to waive his £1 million bonus.

But asked whether the Prime Minister was happy to see other RBS executives receive million-pound bonuses, a Downing Street spokeswoman said: “What we are not going to be doing is micro-managing.

“This Government has taken action to ensure that bonuses are responsible, they are much lower, there is a cap on cash bonuses of £2,000 and we are reforming the whole system.”

It was “a matter for individuals” whether they choose to accept any bonus they are offered, said the spokeswoman.

She added: “The Prime Minister’s view was that he wanted the bonuses to be lower. He always made it clear that it was a matter for Mr Hester whether he took that bonus or not, and that should remain the case.
