what does this cooker switch look like? :confused:

it is OK to do as you say, BUT you MUST fit an ACCESSIBLE 3A FCU in line to the hood.

YOU MUST USE THE SAME SIZE CABLE AS IS USED IN THE REST OF THE CIRCUIT, IN ADDITION TO FUSING DOWN.

can you explain this in more detail please? are you saying we ise the same cable size from the socket intot he fused spur, then a 3am fuse and a thiner wire fro the cooker hood?
 
Yes.

What size cable supplies the cooker switch, and does it allow for 2 of them to fit into the same terminals?

It's notifiable, BTW...
