I recently bought a new light fitting for my kitchen. The existing light had no earth wire, but the new one has. Do I need to use it?

Absolutely, you must.

If the circuit cable doesn't have an earth in it then you can't use the new fitting. What had the previous person done with the circuit earth when he connected up the old light?
