Default lights wires 1.5mm or 2.5mm (100 amp maion fuse)

I was about to order 1.5 mm wire for lighting before the Tuesday VAT
rise when I noticed in Collins Complete Wiring and Lighting page 26 :
[LENGTHS: if the company fuse is larger than 60 amps, 25mm2 meter leads
are required]
But I have never seen any other mention of this.
So can I not use 1.5 mm wire?

Are you sure you're up to this job? If you are capable of confusing 25
(yes, twenty five) mm^2 meter tails with 1.5 or 2.5 mm^2 circuit wiring,
I do wonder!
