Hi. According to the nest thermostat installation instructions ,the thermostat has to be powered by a theee pin plug. Is there no way to just use a fused spur and wire it directly into the house wiring?

No.
The supplied plug is actually a transformer bring the voltage down. IIRC you might be able to run it off a decent USB charger.

I assume by....
If you wire the Nest thermostat to the Heatlink 12v terminals T1 & T2, then you won't need a plug. The thermostat will be powered via the Heatlink which is supplied from a "fused spur"
The guy who bought the last Nest thermostat I installed told me that they don't come complete with the plug in power supply now, and he had to buy it separately with the stand.
