Default Need a neutral to a light switch

I've a light fitting to wire in that has just L and N - no Earth.
The 1-way, 1-gang switch is in a convenient position (! - had to happen
eventually) but there's no neutral.
I'll replace the switch with a 2-way 2-gang plate and wire the new light
into that.
Would it be OK to replace the switch cable from the existing ceiling rose
with flat 3 & E and use one of the wires as N, suitably marked of course?

Or if it's easier, just run an extra single blue (6181y double
insulated)

You could run it via the light switch, or just directly to the new
light fitting.
