Earth on flat plate light switch

[thelondonstyler]

I need to fit a 2 way flat plate light switch. When unscrew the old light switch, I can see the Earth cable connected to the metal box that sits in the wall. The Flat plate switch also has a space for an Earth wire.

So, where should the Earth wire go?

Thanks in advance

ideally to both back box and faceplate. the latter being the most important. you either link from back box with a short piece of cable ( sleeved with earth sleeving) or move the connection from back box to faceplate. either way is acceptable, but the faceplate must be earthed.
