    UK Is a seperate FCU required for spur?

    Hi all, I am looking to add 2 spurs off a ring main socket and the 1st is a 3 gang socket with a 13A fuse (see pic). The 2nd will be 2 gang. Will I still require a seperate FCU or will the 3 gang socket fuse cover this requirement? I beleive it will but just want confirmation. Thanks.
