Do the regs specify whether a neon is required on the FCU for a boiler,

They don't specify a neon must be fitted to anything.

Given that the FCU for a boiler is likely to be left on all the time,
what is the benefit of a neon? Ditto for a hob and extractor unit.


Nothing (AFAIK) in the regs. You'd use a neon on something that was
undesirable to leave switched on and which was not immediately apparent.
