Does anyone know if it's ok to fit electrical sockets in kitchen cupboards,

there also?

Sockets is fine. Cooker switch less so, as it's supposed to be "accessible"
- though there's disagreement on whether the reason is for emergency
disconnection, which would mean it should for sure be on the wall, and within
the stated 2m of the cooker/hob, or just for isolation for maintenance (in
which case the 2m requirement still holds, but inside a cupboard might be
acceptable). P'raps someone with the Regs to hand cares to give chapter
and verse; me, I'd strongly prefer to have the cooker isolator on the wall
rather than hidden away.
