For flat T&E cables, the sizes are usually:
[code:1]line / cpc
1.0 / 1.0
1.5 / 1.0
2.5 / 1.5
4.0 / 1.5
6.0 / 2.5
10.0 / 4.0
16.0 / 6.0[/code:1]
Up to 2.5 solid core, 4.0 and above are stranded.
However cables have been made with other sizes, and stranded wires are also made in sizes below 4.0

Older 2.5mm² t&e only has a 1.0mm² CPC

Worth pointing out the implications are that it 'slightly' fails when on a 30A re-wireable fuse, and fails by quite some margin on a lot of the old type 4 breakers unless the zs is as low as a really low thing!
