    No earth terminal on metal switch

    Got a metal light switch to fit but surpisingly there's no earth terminal on the switch plate. It's Jo Jo branded and has BS3676 marked on it so presumably meets regs? The metal back box is earthed so the screws would presumably earth the front plate when fitted, but this doesn't seem ideal...
