Can this be used for a cable for a multi-gang extension lead and why not? 
Cheapest flex cable option

Not safely as it is not flexible. This is far better and there are other colours available. (You might find it as cheap to buy a ready made extension lead as to make one with the correct materials).

This lead at £14.32
also 2.5 mm² and is flexible plus has plug and socket. That's if you need 2.5 mm² since most 13A leads don't need to be 2.5 mm² most will as ready made have thinner cable.

Think the OP might have problems plugging that into a 13A socket!

In which case why 2.5 mm² if using a 13A outlet 1.5 mm² would be ample. Also easier to get 1.5 mm² in a plug. I am assuming there is a reason behind using 2.5 mm² cable?
Thanks everyone; my question has been answered. 1.5mm2 wire cable is what I need.
