Sounds like your bought one wire too few...

If it really doesn't need an earth (double insulated), and he can

Its very bad practice to re-purpose a green/yellow CPC in a
cable/flex.

While not disagreeing with you, I notice that Googling for "For green
and yellow conductors in multicore cables, overmarking in another
colour at terminations is permitted. This is prohibited for single
core green-and-yellow conductors." has a few hits.

Reg 514.4.2

The bi-colour combination green-and-yellow shall be used exclusively for the
identification of a protective conductor and this combination shall not be
used for any other purpose"
