1mm as you now know. I wonder if one day bell wire will be accepted again for

You have to plan for worst case, though.

Yes and no. If the 1A mcb protects against long term small overload then all is well, and that's not challenging nowadays. The greens should love it as it limits use of halogens.

I rewired the lights in my kitchen recently (badly bodged amateur job
done by previous occupant - see pic in link below). It was 6 x 50W GU10
halogens which I've replaced with LED, but have had to rewire on the
assumption that someone might in future wander along and refit halogens.
