''Barclays, which has taken advantage of government bailout schemes but has not accepted rescue capital from taxpayers, will today announce that bonuses for 2008 will be down by about half on average. Barclays Capital, its investment banking arm, is expected to pay out £600 million, while there will be additional bonuses for people in the retail and commercial arm of the bank.''
