after sub-paragraph (4) insert—

“(4A)

If an eligible student’s household income is determined by reference to the residual income of two parents under paragraph 3(2)(a), the references in sub-paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) to the residual income of A are to be construed as if they were references to the aggregate of the residual incomes of both parents.”;

“(2)
