Not 1 to argue or disagree but every oven have installed has had a piece of 6mm twin and earth hard wired into the cooker terminals, then the other nd connected to the local cooker switch which is located near the cooker. The cooker outlet is wired back to the board. There is no fuse or mcb in the cooker outlet so if the cooker flex was only 1.5mm it not going to be protected by the 32a mcb that is protecting the cooker circuit.

Think about it the cooker goes into fault the 1.5mm starts to smolder and sets on fire so you rush into the kitchen thinking the spuds are burning but its really its the ceiling
