Is it OK practice to run a gas pipe from the meter (inside house) back to
the outside and back inside another room? Probably about five metres
would
be outside house.

No gas in the kitchen (electric cooker) but now looking at possibly
changing
to gas cooking. Unfortunately, no straightforward way of routing the gas
pipe inside.

If it is OK, should this pipe be underground or would it be OK clipped to
the outside wall, suitably protected?

Thanks

As long as you're not using pipe that rusts, then you're OK. If it is in a
position where it may by in line for a lot of punishment, then cladding it
in a larger PVC pipe should protect it enough.

Our gas pipes (presumably installed correctly) certainly run outside
the walls of the house with no extra protection. Just copper pipe
tidily clipped.
