In reply to MarkJH:
I've had a quick look at this, and, on a 6A MCB you're looking at a minimum fault current of around 35A.
In practice that is really low. Even so, a fault current of that order would take out a 3A BS1352 fuse in under 0.02 seconds. Specified disconnection time is 0.4 seconds. A 2A switch would laugh in the face of that. >35A the fuse would operate virtually instantaneously.
Remember the current rating of electrical equipment is the maximum current for continuous use, not under fault conditions.
