Default How long do points stay on licence???

I was applying for a photocard licence at the weekend as I passed my test in 97 and they just had the paper ones then, so don't have the newer one, but now I need a photo licence for my new job, as I have to get rental cars when away overseas etc...
Anywway........!

I thought it was 3 years for licence and 5 years for insurace, but i noticed in the other section of the handbook which accompanies the form that it says the points stay on for four years????
Has this always been the case or is it a new thing???
And if it's new when is it applicable from????
