Supplemental Charters were granted in 1887, 1896, 1922 and 1962, the last provided inter alia a procedure for amending earlier Charters instead of seeking Supplemental Charters when changes were needed. This procedure was invoked for some amendments in 1968 and 1972, but the Institution was then advised that the existing series of Charters should be superseded by one new consolidating Charter. This new Charter (pp. 4-7) was approved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and issued on 11 June 1975. It preserved the original date of incorporation of the Institution but revoked all the old Charters, which will, of course, be preserved in the archives of the Institution. It now incorporates amendments approved on 16 December 1981, 27 October 1982, 8 February 2000, 18 June 2001, 6 November 2007, 15 October 2009 and 11 November 2015 under the procedure laid down in Article 15. The By-laws derive their authority from the Charter, and any amendments to them have to be approved first by the Corporate Members and then by the Privy Council.
