Fused spur > socket, On lighting circuit in loft?

Does the 3amp fuse not just give the socket an extra barrier of saftey or really, there is no point?

There's really no point. In the event of a major fault, it would be pot luck as to whether the 3A fuse blew or a 6A MCB tripped (or both). However, no significant harm results from using an 'unnecessary' FCU in that situation.

Thank you John. You have been really helpful!
 
5 amp plug and socket maybe - then obviously different and I think perfectly ok.

Think there is a 3amp as well.
