Default round pin plugs

Hello,

I have bought some round pin plugs to use with table lamps. I bought
the 5A variety as I can't seem to find the 2A ones: have they gone out
of fashion?

I've never used them before. I was expecting them to be identical to
mains three pin plugs but with different shaped pins. However, I see
that there is no fuse inside. Is there a reason for this? You can get
2A and 5A fuses, so why not bring them up to date and fit a fuse on
the live pin, as with 13A plugs?

Thanks.
