Wiring an outbuilding

[silverdale]

I've got a 6mm cable from house consumer unit to outbuilding on a 32a mcb to a two way unit in outbuilding with 1 x 6a mcb what the maximum mcb I can have for the power
Also cable from house to outbuilding is about 50m

You don't need the CU. You could wire the sockets in 6mm and use a FCU for the lighting.
If you install the CU i would use a 20a for the sockets, wired in 2.5mm.

What's the VD on 50m of 6 milli?

How many sockets are talking you about? Getting more than one 6mm cable into a socket terminal and/or an FCU might be tricky!

MK Logic Plus and Hager Sollysta will both take 2x6mm² (a Hager cooker switch will even take 1x16mm² in it's input terminals!)

He would only need to have 6mm² at the first socket.

One wonders what type of "cable" we are talking about....
