What size cable is usual or the minimum requirement for earthing the kitchen sink?

Does the boiler 'combi' Glow worm also need earthing?

From the mains service head you need to run 10 mm sq green/yellow sheathed conductors. On all the other supplementary bonding you would use 6 mm sq green/yellow sheathed conductors.
Yes, assuming your boiler has electrical connections within you will earth this.

I would have said 4mm but today I was told there is no need to earth a sink.
Also not need to add any extra earths to a combi other than that which is part of power supply.
The sink may need an earth if metal waist is used.
