Can I run this passed some of the electrical experts here. A friend of mine
wants to fit a heated towel rail (400 Watts) in his bathroom (please leave
aside Part P considerations, and such things, and treat this as a
theoretical installation), can he run a spur off the ring main in an
adjoining room to a double-pole switch outside the bathroom, and would such
an installation comply with the Regs?

Provided the supplementary bonding in the bathroom is up to current 
standards then doing what you propose would comply with current regulations 
IMHO.
