The under...

Are gas pipes allowed to be chased into a block wall and plastered over in a domestic property?

I'm chasing out a tiny kitchen in a studio flat & my boss wants me to do a chase down to every box which is 8 drops. There's a stud wall on the one side I could use. My question is, he said I can't go horizontally. I said you can, if its in line with a box. Whose right?
I’m looking for some advice on VERITAS 8 alarm panels. I want to add 3 additional zones and remote key pad in my garage, but only have a standard key pad (no display) which looking at the instructions/manual could be a very long winded way of programming the new zones regarding parts sets etc...
