The bank revealed the figure, worth around £55,000 per employee, as it posted its first quarterly loss since becoming a public company in 1999.

A spokesman for the bank, which recently received a $10bn handout from the US government, said the bonus pot totalled £1.67bn.

The chief executive and six senior colleagues will not take a share, having agreed to give up the perk.

A spokesman rejected reports that the bonuses could amount to as much as £4.3bn - or £142,000 for each worker including the 5,000-plus employed in London.

Salaries and benefits, including bonuses, were paid out of earnings, not capital, he added.
