The hourly rate (as specified in paragraph 1(a) respectively in Schedules 2, 3, 5 and 6 to the principal Regulations) for those services is increased from Ј70.00 to Ј77.00 (an increase of Ј7.00) and is the second increase since 1st June 1998 (when the principal Regulations came into force); the first increase (from Ј65.00 to Ј70.00) came into force on 1st April 2000.
