By Rob Cooper Last updated at 2:38 PM on 28th January 2012 'Inappropriate': Royal Bank of Scotland chairman Sir Philip Hampton has turned down a £1.4million bonus payout, it emerged today RBS chief-executive Stephen Hester is under further pressure to turn down his near £1million bonus today after his own chairman rejected a payout. Sir Philip Hampton was in line to receive 5.17million shares - worth £1.4million - from the bank which is 83 per cent owned by the taxpayer. But he turned the payment down as he thinks it is 'inappropriate' to accept the windfall that he was to receive later this year.
