TN-S Earth clamp

Had a proper look at the earthing on the new place today. The supply earth is provided by a clamp onto the sheath. It's not, so far as I can, a tightenable clamp.

It has a 10mm cable in which looks like it only just fits, can't see how I'd get a 16 in there. (tails are - at the moment - 25mm as far as a Henley, then down to 16mm)
I noticed that the clamp rotates freely around the sheath. Is that to be expected? I will get round to measuring the earth soon when the replacement test lead turns up.
No, the clamp should not move and will be an ineffective earth connection.
Report it to your DNO and they should either rectify it or provide PME.
(this may be delayed due to Coronovirus Regs)
