Should this turn out to be true then _all_circuits_ wired in T&E will
need to be 30 mA RCD'd, unless buried to what is normally an

types. Perhaps individual circuit RCBOs will become the norm...

Which by virtue of the switch drops would include lighting circuits as
well. This would seem to have the same negative safety implications of the
15th edition "whole house RCD" all over again.

It is pretty clear they are forcing everyone to use RCBOs. Rather than a
bank of circuits being switched out by an RCD, each individual circuit only
need switching out by its own RCBO.
