Fees have been revised since they were first set. The last two occasions on which there were general revisions were in 1964 and 1974. In 1964 all fees under £500 per annum were increased by 25 per cent subject to an upper limit of £500. In 1974 fees were increased by 60 per cent. This increase was based on movements in private sector directors' fees. There has been no increase since 1974.
