Apologies, can of worms again. What are the latest rules about oversleeving green/yellow?
The last I knew it was stated as permitted in multicore cables but I was out earlier on a C2 EICR in a wall T stat.
 
514.4.2
Not permitted unless for a PEN conductor, which it won't be in any normal circuit wiring.

What Flameport says goes....

I would never use a G/Y cable for anything other than it's intended purpose.
No matter what anyone else says, bodging it with an oversleeve or a bit of tape is just not right.
Do it right first time, if your short of cores then get another cable.
 
How many photos cells have an earth wire sleeved brown out there? Loads I'd say...

Would use 4 core these days and not use the earth, strange ay
