6mm. Use 2.5mm to the socket, no fused spur unit required

On second thoughts the MCB is 20A so you will need a fuse with a
2.5mm spur. WTF is Adam?


No fuse needed as the overload protection is provided by the load on the
socket.

So in theory no different to a 2.5mm unfused spur off a 32A (2.5mm) ring
or 32A (4mm) radial socket circuit.

18th edition demands that the socket is RCD protected and the oven
circuit may not be.
