The 20A DP switch can isolate one single socket without the need for additional fusing.
Regulation, please?

133.2.2 is the regulation I am looking at - by ensuring the socket is single means that the current draw is limited to 13A
A double socket could increase the current to above 20A thus rendering the 20A DP switch not fit for purpose
Then again I know the double socket current rating is another subject......
Irrelevant to ricicle's statement
It all depends on what you have connected to the socket or sockets, but your reasoning is sound enough and to be fair, it's what I often installed.
From your original post in this thread it looked like you were citing a cast-iron rule and given the sheer number of imaginary regulations I hear on a daily basis, I hoped this wasn't one of those.
