I have a Cooker/crabtree switch but the cooker switch doesn't work? I currently have a gas cooker and it is currently on the "crabtree" switch but I'm looking into getting an electric cooker but I need to resolve this cooker switch problem first. I've replaced the switch with a new one but the problem remains the same, I turn on the "cooker switch" and the light on the switch indicates that it is on but it isn't transferring any power to my gas cooker. I'm not sure what else to do?

The socket and cooker switch are fed by the same cable. If the socket works, power is getting to the cooker switch.
I know and that is what isn't making any sense, I can't figure out why the socket works when the switch is on crabtree but doesn't work when it's switched to cooker? Is it because every appliance i will not work on a high amp switch and only works on a low amp setting?
 
I suspect the gas cooker also needs an electric supply.
Assuming it's not dual fuel (gas hob and electric oven), then any electric supply will only be for igniters and maybe a timer, and that wouldn't normally come from a 45 supply, although a cable outlet plate could be changed for a 13A socket or a fused cable outlet plate.

I have uploaded more photos to make it more clear to what I mean, Crabtree setting my current gas cooker works but there is no power when switched to the cooker switch
