Hello Dominic, im use a "For" for solving your trouble:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
tablein = {{{1, 2}, {3, -1}, {2, -4}}, {{1, 2}, {4, -5}, {6, -8}}, {{2, -1},
{-2, -3}, {-4, 6}}};
mintable = {};
For[i = 1, i <= Length[tablein], i++,
 mini = Min[Drop[tablein[[i]], {}, {1}]];
 posi = Position[tablein[[i]], mini][[1, 1]];
 mintable = Append[mintable, Extract[tablein[[i]], posi]];
 ];
mintable
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this code will serve you, greetings.
