No one seems yet to have commented, at least not explicitly, on the fact that, unless it can be argued to be a "lighting circuit" (and, try as I may .... ), use of 1mm² cable is non-compliant with the regulations.
Kind Regards, John
Incidentally, a "lighting circuit" is not defined in BS 7671. It's not entirely logical either to make different rules for "lighting" and "power" circuits.
