With this it will be convenient to discuss new clause 4—Minimum income standards—
‘(1) In the exercise of his duties, the Secretary of State shall have regard to minimum income standards.
(2) It shall be the duty of the Secretary of State to commission research into the minimum levels of household incomes necessary to sustain a healthy diet, other necessities, safety and wellbeing for children (in this Act referred to as “Minimum Income Standards”).’.
