Default Earth bonding on armoured mains cable

Hi all - I have an electrician in, wiring up a loft conversion and he
decided to have a nose in my cellar at the consumer unit etc. There is
an earth cable running from the terminal near the service head to a
bonding clamp on the cable gland at the end of the armoured supply
cable coming in front the street.
He said that the cable wasn't thick enough and that bonding using the
type of clamp used on 15/22mm copper pipe does not meet with the
current IEE regulations and would have to be upgraded before he could
complete his work. He also said that EDF would need to do this work as
he isn't allowed to. Has anyone else experienced this type of issue
and is he correct in what he's saying ?

Thanks

Peter
