Fused spur question

Currently I have a spur from the ring main that has a double socket on it. Potentially looking to add a fused spur before the current socket so that I can add a second socket. Does the second socket have to be wired from the first socket or can it also be wired from the fused spur. I am aware that the total load cannot exceed 13 amps. Hopefully the diagram shows what I am proposing.
Thanks

You could also wire the new socket as a second spur from the socket on the ring. No need for the FCU then.

I’ll add that many sparks also believe what you did but when you challenge them admit there is no such reg. There have been long arguments on another forum (no names mentioned but they are part of a well known supplier) about this.
