Fused spur for under counter socket

[lou192]

Hi, I'm currently looking at moving a socket so it's under the worktop for a washing machine in the kitchen, however I need to be able to switch off the socket. Am I right in thinking that I need to fit a fused spur above the worktop in order to do this?

If it's just one single or double13A socket, then a 20A DP switch can be used instead of a fused spur.
