Laura BS1363, table 2 gives the maximum fuse rating for certain sizes of cable.
Cord size Rated current Fuse rating 0.50mmsq 3A 3A(5A)* 0.75mmsq 6A 13A 1mmsq 10A 13A 1.25mmsq 13A 13A 1.50mmsq 13A 13A *The figure in brackets indicates the fuse rating when a non-rewireable plug/cord assembly is used with certain types of equipment where the use of a 5A fuse link is necessary because of high instantaneous input current. There would be no problem with fitting the plug with a 5A fuse provided it can withstand the inrush current of your product.
