M.I.C.C. in House. Why?

Today I came upon some orange served M.I.C.C. cable running from the loft in a bungalow to a single metalclad socket. It may have been an immersion heater supply, but the copper cylinder has been removed. It appears to be quite big, perhaps 4.0mm2 or 6.0mm2.

I wondered just why it was installed in a domestic bungalow.

Apprentice training by an electrician father perhaps. Used as it was available. But the extra work terminating it would not warrant using spare cable from your works would it?

Bemused of Norfolk.?

Probably what was to hand, or apprentice training/gaining practice.
MICC is sometimes an insurance requirement for thatched properties, was it ever thatched ?
MICC is often considered the safest system, perhaps someone was simply being cautious ?
No thatching there. The building is a P.V.C. cabled 1970s bungalow. The odd cable is the M.I.C.C. Very odd.
