What type of pull switch is this?

It's A DP [Double Pole] switch and will have terminals for L&N in and a L&N out [or Load] Both poles will be switched when the cord is pulled. It should say on the back that it is DP and show a current rating [A]
As it appears just to have three wires L&N in and a L out. It appears to be being used as a single pole switch to just switch the L. The N only being used to provide power to the Neon indicator.
The yellow leads to the Neon are the 'out' or 'load side' terminals.

Possibly feeds a loft light , neon to indicate if light is on or off when the hatch is closed .

Ive been up in the loft and it feeds into a JB
That goes to the loft mounted extractor unit.
Loft light is on a separate switch in th corridor with its own neon
You can replace these with 16A pull switches
Yes, but you would have to isolate / insulate the Neutral wire and tuck it out of the way.
Thanks. Might replace with a wall switch instead of the pull cord.
If i wanted to connect this up to a 2 gang wall switch. (1 rocker switch for a light, and one in place of the pull cord for the fan) is that possible?
If so what type of switch do i need to get as the replacment?
Thanks
Again
You've said what you need...
Use one gang for the light and the other for the fan.
You don't mention the current rating of the fan, but it won't be a problem if it's a standard domestic bathroom fan.

Great Cheers stem.
I knew it was a 2g but wasn't sure if it was that simple.
The fan is 75w rated at 0.34A
