Does any one know what the regs are regarding using connectors in
lighting back boxes. Where there are wall lights or outside light or
even downlighters then instead of using junction boxes, I have been
taking a live, neutral and earth to a light switch. From the light
switch to the fitting, switch the live, join the neutrals in a
connector strip, obviously connect earths together on back box lug. To
me far easier than using junction boxes which should always be
accessible, difficult in flat roofed ground floor extensions. Any
views?

Absolutely fine. To anyone contemplating this for the first time, it's
worth using a deeper than normal box to give plenty of room. A one gang
socket type, ie 35mm deep, makes for plenty room regardless of the type of
switch used.
