I'm in the process of fitting new central heating, and I'm unsure which cable to use to wire up the thermostat. I'm using a PRT2-TS, and wiring it into a Honeywell junction box next to the zone valves and the boiler.
Controller:

Junction box:

The controller needs the following lines:
Live
Neutral
Zone1 call for heat
Zone2 call for heat
I don't think there's any requirement for the cable to be heat-resistant. It's not running near anything hot.
The knockout box I'll sit the controller in doesn't have an earth, and nor does the controller itself:

Question 1. Am I free to just use 4-core cable, and label the green/yellow with brown sheath?
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Cable_Index/Flex_White_2/index.html
live - brown
neutral - blue
zone1 - black, marked with a brown sheath
zone2 - green/yellow, marked with brown sheath
Question 2. ... or would I need to use 5-core, and leave the earth dangling at the controller end?

Question 3. ... or is there any more sensibly coloured 4-core cable available from somewhere I haven't found?
For what it's worth, I have a buildings notice out, and it will all be inspected by their electrical inspector.
Thanks in advance
