I just had another thought. If the spur was connected through a 13Amp fused connection unit then one could connect as many sockets to it as required as the cable would be protected. Is this allowed?

Granted - I was being a bit pedantic However you would expect the regulations to stack up. The point is though that the ring main is protected by the fuse in the consumer unit which is rated below the theoretical current handling limit of the ring-main, however is rated higher than the...

I don't understand how any spur can be safe. If 2.5mm cable is capable of taking 24Amps and a double socket is rated at 2 x 13Amps. In theory it is capable of drawing 26Amps, more than the cable rating.
