IMC Minima help please

I have an IMC that has just lapsed, and also happen to have just joined a new club. I was discussing doing some refresher training with the CFI, and was discussing minimums. I always believed that the minimum landing weather conditions for an IMC holder were 1800m vis and system minima + 50ft PEC + 200ft DH/MDH (with an absolute minimum of 500ft DH and 600ft MDH). As I flew from Cardiff, I always used 500ft as my Decision height.

This new CFI tells me that the rules have now changed, and said rather dismissively that if I did that nowadays, it would be illegal. Whilst I don't relish the idea of flying in pea soup type weather, I would like to know the actual minimums. I have trawled through LASORS, and found a mention of 'Schedule 8 of the ANO'. When I look this up, it doesn't mention weather minima. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?
