Leaked papers: Cameron secretly fought tougher rules on bank bonuses

As bonus season rolls on and the banks procrastinate about what minuscule social good they might undertake,  Tribune magazine has received a leaked copy of a Treasury paper that reveals that the public pronouncements by senior Conservatives were not matched by action.
