It looks like a standard clipsal single gang 13A socket so just disconnect it and replace with a non switched one. I doubt you would be able to remove the switch as it would be an integral part of the socket. I also guess that the switch is a normal latching one so if you turn the switch Off then On is would sense that and trun on locally but wouldnt turn off. If the switch was turned off the thing would be totally off just like using the switch on a table lamp etc when plugged into Appliance/Lamp modules.
 
Note: Above comments based soley on looking at the picture.
 
Maybe Mike can clarify / confirm what I have speculated.

Would I be right in assuming that the switch on this unit is a momentary switch which would reverse the current state? Also can we assume that the unit is as dumb as the rest of the UK units, i.e. no status reporting. If this is the case then what is the possiblity of removing the switch and putting one of those clipsal blanking plates in to disable local control?
