BP PLC chief executive Tony Hayward said Sunday he won’t step down over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and predicted his company will recover from the disaster.

Hayward told BBC television’s “Andrew Marr Show” that he would not quit, and he had the “absolute intention of seeing this through to the end.”
