OK - it turns out that the legislation was more subtle than that. It's
the "traditional style" banana plugs and sockets that have been
banned.
A full explanation can be found at the bottom of:

These UK-type wall plates comprise of 2 pairs of gold chromed 'knurled'
speaker termination posts. The posts have a 4mm hole which can be
clamped with the knurled thumbscrew. The posts can also take a banana
plug. Posts are polarise with red and black bands. c/w 2 x 30mm screws.
Depth of the gold solder tags into the wall plate is just 6mm.

however I take your point, from the underside they do not look like they
would take the full length.

They look like binding posts, which are fine. Banana sockets are deeper.

Ah!

That'll explain why I couldn't find them on letsautomate!  I guess you
can
still get binding post connectors without banana connectors??  Any idea
where I can get these from?

Cheers.
