Sony themselves offer a 30mm f/2.8 macro lens, which looks to be very good for the price (£150ish), and would also double as a good walkaround prime. Only problem might be the very close distance to subject for 1:1.
Also look at the Tamron 90mm macro - more expensive, but good by all accounts.

Jessops have got the Tamron 90mm on special offer if you can find one near you.

That's a top find! I am VERY tempted by that offer, and it's one the OP should definitely take advantage of.

Hmm, let me know if they give you a delivery date, when I looked they were out of stock but had more on order and I didn't want to wait weeks maybe for them to receive them
I found the minimum focus distance of 0.9m a bit frustrating for macro work. The tammy 90mm 2.8 is around 0.3m.
I went into my local Jessops yesterday and they've found several of the tammy in-stock and will arrange for it to be shipped to my local store for pick up from them. Hopefully should have one in hand by Wednesday.
