Lautro commission rates

Can anyone help? What were the old standard Lautro commission rates for:
- term insurance
- critical illness
- income protection

Were they all 25%, 30% or 35% in the initial period? This is for a piece of research I'm doing at work. Thanks!

    Usually CiC paid at Term rates

    Remember though most providers paid an uplift on all of those rates + most advisers took upfront indemnity payment ( discounted at a rate of 0.75- 1% pm)

    also some companies ( did and still do) work on a shorter earning period , so gets more confusing
