I seem to recall reading somewhere that in 2 way switching for house lighting its a good idea to have a neutral wire parallel to the lives to cut down on interference, is this so? In which case I need 4 core and earth not 3 core and earth.

No. Because your 2 or 3 wires to the switch are already balanced -
current down to the switch = current back up from the switch.
