Some advice please, at the moment I have 13amp connection to my cooker. Told its best to hard wire for new cooker as cooker should be on its own circuit.?
Rather than taking new wire from kitchen under floorboards etc to electric terminal box.
Can I install 30amp fuse socket and hard wire cooker to this.

It is recommend any cooking appliance exceeding 2kW, is hardwired.
If you know the appliance you are purchasing, it could be possible to obtain some technical data on what connection would be required.
Not sure what you mean by a 30A fused socket? As this not something you would find in a domestic installation.
Hard wiring would require a dedicated circuit from your fuse box, the chances are it would be 6mm cable and require RCD protection if the cables are to be buried.
Unless the existing socket, is the original cooker circuit, then it may be able to adapt it back, providing this has not been extend to other accessories.

Si if I need cable 6mm, what else ?
30mA RCD protection for newly buried cable, if not mechanically protected, 45A double pole isolator (if the isolator includes a socket outlet, then 30mA RCD will be required for that regardless), and cooker outlet plate.
Isolator and outlet plate will require 47mm back boxes.
As this would be a new circuit, notification to building controls and they will require an electrical installation certificate.
