If I remember that was 'Newey and Eyre' own brand so first port of call would be to see if they have any old stock or a backwards compatible replacement.

Aye. Neweys should be able to help.
As a note.
Volex aren't treated with the same distain they used to be years ago, although they are now produced abroad. All the accessories used to be dire....'Ward and Goldstone crap', as we used to know them in the eighties. The firm's (W+G) headquarters were in Salford.

I was just about to ask why there are no socket circuits on the board but then I spotted it way off to the right.

Yeah there is one ring well not actually a ring as there is no continuity, hence why I want a 20AMCB only went there to add a socket and chase in two, went to test and of course no ring continuity, checked all accessibile connections and customer doesn't want floors pulling up etc so only thing I can do is derate the breaker so it's a tad better.

Won't you need an rcbo then Lewis rather than a mcb.
