I presume that it's acceptable to pass a 2.5mm T&E through a back box? The wires will run in and out of this socket over to another socket and then back the way they came so makes sense to run through the box.
Are you saying the cable will pass through the box in one direction, connect to another socket and then pas back through the original box in the opposite direction without actually being connected into that socket?
If so then I imagine with the cables that are connected to that particular socket it will be quite crowded in there.

It should be ok then but ensure the grommets don't get displaced when pulling back through.
If it's a ring circuit you could always return the ring from the 'pass through' socket and make the other socket a spur. Will also save a little bit of cable.
