The reason for the lack of any comments or recommendations relating to existing FRIs is because they are set to continue at the existing rates for 5 years since inception. Last year's AFPRB report clearly states this fact and indicates that they will be producing a review of the effect of the existing FRIs in the 2005 Report.
The new FRI for NCA (£20K at 17 years) is mentioned in this year's Report and is fully supported by the AFPRB.
The FRIs are not subject to indexing linking. They are fixed amounts payable to particular personnel meeting specific requirements.
Hope this helps to allay any fears that the FRIs are no longer in place.
