Not required, a double socket itself is only rated for 20 Amps TOTAL load by most makers.Bs 7671 Appendix on standard circuits shows a 2.5mm Ring Final circuit with 2.5mm UNFUSED spur to ONE double socket as acceptable.
It is only permissible to supply a twin 13A socket from a ring protected by a 32A cpd because the theoretical maximum current that can be drawn is 26A - connecting such a cable with connectors rated at less than this value is not permitted.

Also, the fact that a twin socket may only rated at 20A does in no way limit the current that can be drawn from it. We should allow for the full 26A being drawn.
