    Thank you all for your advice and information. It looks as if I can go ahead and order the hob.

    UK Hardwiring an induction hob

    if you're using the socket for a kettle say and your cooking xmas dinner there's always a chance the 32 mcb will trip. We have never used the socket so that shouldn't be a problem.

    I suspect that's because the Electrician who wired up the cooker forced an MK breaker alongside the Contactums.
