Hi,
The UK mains system requires that we use two isolation switches at the inlet.
Each switch contact also has to meet a minimum gap to be classed as an on/off switch.

Andrew I did not believe there had to be live and neutral switched, can you point to a reference?
I think it may be a rumour. It's best practice, but not legally enforced.
For a start it would outlaw most if not all the switched IEC inlets made by the likes of Bulgin, who as a reputable company I'm sure would not be selling illegal products and neither would reputable suppliers like RS and Farnell stock them.
