13C.—(1) The Secretary of State may not exercise the power under section 41D(1) of the 1991 Act without the appropriate consent (as provided for in subsections (5) to (7) of section 41D), unless one of the following conditions applies—

(b)that the Secretary of State would be entitled to retain part of the arrears under section 41(2) of that Act if it recovered them, and the part of the arrears that the Secretary of State would not be entitled to retain is equal to or less than the payment accepted under section 41D(1) of that Act.
(2) Where the consent of any appropriate person is required, the Secretary of State must make available such information and guidance as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate for the purpose of helping that person decide whether to give that consent.
13D.—(1) Where the Secretary of State proposes to exercise the power under section 41D(1) of the 1991 Act, the Secretary of State must prepare a written agreement.

(5) Where the Secretary of State enters into a new agreement with the non-resident parent in respect of any of the arrears to which a previous agreement related, the previous agreement ceases to have effect on the coming into effect of that new agreement.]
