Hi. Why would you need to us either a DP switch or a fuse to connect a
socket to a ring? A double socket would need IIRC a 20A switch, and a
single one... presumably 13A one. (Not certain bout those figures, but
think so)


There is no need to have the switch DP instead of SP. But, 13A DP
switches are not readily available. In addition, wiring 'in line' is a
lot easier if you don't have to keep one conductor continuous (and I
wouldn't want to joint it inside the switch box).
