Can I take a switchwire back to the board ?

My definition of a switch wire, is perm live an switched live, why would you take such a wire back to the CU unless using it as some sort of junction box / enclosure.

Thanks I had some idea it’s bad practice but just been told different things ?

Could you maybe draw a sketch of what you mean?

it was a switchwire on a lighting circuit from a photocell taken back to the board and the connections made off in the dis board and didn’t know if it was against regs or just bad practice ?

I think anyone telling you it was against the regs would need to tell you which one it would be against. Don't think I can think of one.

That sounds fine to me, I would happily do something similar.
