    How close can incoming gas pipe/meter be to electric supply/meter

    I need to arrange for electric and gas tobe reconnected in a property. The incoming supply gas pipe is next to (as in 2-3cm) to the incoming electric. Is there a requirement for separation? As this is an existing property is it ok to reinstall in the same place, or will one need moving?
