Looks like from Jan 2019.
This new requirement (which comes into effect from 1 January 2019) will make it compulsory to use metal cable fixings within the whole installation and not only on fire resistant cables. This does not mean that every cable clip must be non-metallic but the cable must be fully supported in the event of a fire.

Some wag will suggest they now have to be earthed ;-)

They have been available for years. Much cheaper than "tower"clips. Dunno why they fell out of favour.

I'd love to know where you find them cheaper.

This is in part due to the death of a fireman who, after entering a building became trapped by burning cablss which fell of the wall and blocked the only escape route.
