Hey! I'm pretty sure you have to use pen, but I'm happy to be corrected, I know you have to write in pen ;D

I think you are allowed to use pencil-only for diagrams though

That's definitely not true, I used pen for diagrams in all my Math exams ;D I probably should have used pencil, and sometimes I did, but quick sketches were always pen. The only time I used a pencil was for really tricky curve sketches, from memory ;D

You are not permitted to use pencil unless explicitly stated at the front of the examination book. This happens for subjects such as physics where you are occasionally required to sketch graphs and because you don't have unlimited writing space it's too hard to do otherwise.
Under normal circumstances, including mathematics, you must sketch in pen. If you insist on pencil to do a rough sketch, that's probably fine. But you should always trace over them in black pen.
(Note that this was not always the case - the new scanning system they introduced last year was terrible. When I found out that blue pen was not ok and I had to use black pen I had nothing to say; I was just annoyed lol)
