David Cameron will not stop the Royal Bank of Scotland awarding other bonuses to its executives, a Downing Street spokesperson has said.

RBS chief executive Stephen Hester decided to turn down his £963,000 bonus after coming under sustained pressure from politicians, the media and the public.

Labour had threatened to call a Commons debate on the issue as RBS is 83% owned by the taxpayer.
