Boiler Power

[Scrappy042]

Afternoon!
I have a combi gas boiler. It has a Hive heating controller wired in on one side. The other side has a fused switch for isolating the power to the boiler. I assumed it was a spur as the supply cable to the switch disappeared behind a cabinet.

A few days ago, I discovered that this boiler switch power cable actually terminated at a standard plug and socket.

Is this allowed? Everything works ok, but I'm just wondering if it is truly permitted and safe?
Part of me thinks it is as it's clearly only powering the LCD display on the boiler, the spark to ignite the heating and the (assume low voltage) power to the Hive controller.

Just seems a bit odd.

Any ideas?

A plug is fine.

However, this (or ONE device) should control the whole central heating system.

However you don't need a FCU as well. There is a fuse in the plug.

Isn't that what I wrote?

It is. However, if I read the OP correctly, there is an FCU between the plug and the boiler, and winston was pointing out that the FCU was unnecessary.
