I'd assume that’s why they're there. It's a fused switch, not a spur. Does one switch do two sockets?

No ive checked them all and like i say there was a plastic thing in the socket to prevent touching when i moved in so im guessing there is no switch for it. 

Thanks guys sounds like its safe enough then  

Would that be this sort of socket cover? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5698060/safety-socket-covers-unsafe#latest

As in the sticky thread that is at the top of this very forum section ;-)

A 'plastic thing to prevent touching'? What? Are you saying the socket is damaged and has exposed live parts?

I read it as being one of them plastic safety covers to stop kids putting their fingers in it.

this yes

Then throw it away immediately. It is not a safety cover. It actually compromises several of the safety features already built into the socket.
