[edit]: thought I'd found one, but the data sheet you've linked to is for a double-pole switch which should have 4 or 6 contacts. But then you said it only has 3, which means it's a single-pole changeover type. So now I'm not sure which is right.
Am I correct in thinking you need a switch with 3 contacts and which fits a 22 x 19 mm cutout?

yup,the switch has the option for upto 6 contacts,but it only has 3 contacts,all on one side (the other side has 3 slots but it is totally blank,of contacts,internal etc,its like a double switch but with only 1 side fitted out)
im clueless when it comes to switches/wiring,engine yup,this minor sort of thing,has me phumped most the times ha ha.
its to power a 6v battery sit on buggy for kids, the switch is operated by her foot,it is of a spring back design,so when she puts her foot down the switch is on but when she lifts her foot off it automatically springs back cutting power to the buggy,if that makes sense ?

Digi-Key - CKC2015-ND (C&K Components - D608J12S205QA) - maybe? It's fractionally bigger (0.5mm or so), but might just fit.
Also... you sure that's definitely the right data sheet you've posted? A switch that springs straight back when you let go, rather than staying switched, is referred to as "momentary" action, and there's no mention of that on the Cherry data sheet.
If you want to be sure of getting the exact item, the people to contact in the UK are: The Distributor Directory 2008
They'll be electrical wholesalers, though - you may have to buy a few hundred
