Glyn, are these switches perhaps some cheap brand that don't comply with UK regs ? Or are they the type with a metal switch?
I can't see otherwise how a metal faceplate could be leaking 10mA.
If that was really the case then three of them would trip an RCD.
You could just change the switches to normal types with no metal front plates.
This would get you out of trouble.
