It's a condition of reconnection of supply with EDF that you produce one. However, since I have a Megger, I wrote my own out (which the BCO is also prepared to accept - that's another pot of randomness).
In your case (village), it's them initiating the work, so if they want to test all your houses, they will have to do it themselves. In my case, I requested the cutout fuse be pulled, so it's all my fault.
EDF did test my work - by waving a volt stick over the bits that were supposed to be live, and noting there were 5 cables going to the Main Earth Terminal (plus the main earth from the cutout) - so I guess he summised that 3 of them might just be connected to gas and water and the CU
Of course, many people find the fuse seals missing when they move into a property - and dutifully tell the DNO after they've done what they need to do.
My meter is too new - would have been obvious if I'd fiddled with it.
However, I have my external isolator now, so I will never have to bother them again :)
