Question What is the Real Minima

I have just got home after my sim check ride and an interesting discussion on minimum altitudes.

The discussion centered on whether you can descend below the minima on an ILS approach. That is do you initiate your missed approach at the minimum altitude and therefore end up below the minima or do you commence your missed approach at some higher altitude so that you do not descend below the minima?

I have no doubt about what it should be but I am lacking a book reference to legitimise my stand.

Anybody out there able to help.

Thanks
SS
