Storage heater timer ideas?

Hi guys,
My flat has storage heaters which all come on automatically in the night. However there is one that just needs turning on manually and has no timer. I can't connect a timer plug to it as there's no plug hole - just a wire into the wall.
Is there anyway to put a timer onto this? I've attached a picture to this post. It's the white socket in the middle - as you can see there's a switch but no plug hole.

Are you sure it's a storage heater not just an ordinary heater? (Not that it changes anything but the time you want it on).
