The wire with green/yellow insulation is the circuit protective conductor "cpc" generally know as the earth.
This wire provides a return path for electricity under fault conditions to ensure that the circuit protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) operates quickly enough to disconnect the circuit from the supply.
It should be present and properly connected in all standard UK domestic and commercial circuits.
Were a fault to develop in an appliance with with metal casing such as an electric cooker, without the cpc the metal casing would be live and remain so until a person or animal came into contact with it. At this point the fault current would flow through them usually with lethal consequences.
