im glad you found this i was searching for that documentAlthough the strings aren't illegal as such, they are not recognised as a suitable repair, as per BSAU159.
Only either a combination plug/patch, or patch with penetration filling material, are deemed an acceptable repair.
This document contains the details - http://btmauk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Minor-repairs-to-passenger-car-and-light-van-tyres.pdf
as such if you were to have a blow out and crashed how would you stand with your insurance as its not recognised as a suitable repair?
