It appears not to be the ignition on/off switch, but the switch that selects low/high charge and side and headlamps. Prising the handle upwards appears to make a contact and the ammeter then shows a good charge. The switch lacks a positive action and is "slack" in the lights-on sector.; in other words, it's worn out. I have what seems to be a good spare, with a decent click action, and will fit that - though it's a really fiddly job in a Ruby!
