Not actually correct.


You can still install a boiler .... just leave the gas connection to
'Gas safe engineer' and he then connects and tests.


Wrong. Not against any law to connect the gas yourself. Provided you
are competent to do so.


When I replaced my gfs parents central heating I ran the gas pipe down to
the meter and got a plumber mate to do the final connection. Can you guess
which bit had a leak?
