Thanks a lot for your thoughts everyone, it's really appreciated.
Good to know I have both options available.
The reasoning behind the combined cooker and switch is that it basically saves me having to flush fit two back boxes. So just the one to worry about.
The double socket is already flush fitted on the other side of the wall where the gas cooker is plugged in. Sometimes a dish washer is plugged into the double as well, but it's very rarely used.. no more than once a year... It's used as a storage unit for cleaning utensils most of the time.
