OUr gas meter is at high level in the pantry of our bungalow.
There is an airbrick at about 4' height which introduces quite a
lot of cold air and dust/dirt and SWIMBO would like to block it
off.

Google isn't clear. What and where are the regs applying to it and
more simply can I put a piece of card in front of the airbrick?

The air brick may be because the space is a pantry, and perhaps
needs to be kept cool, rather than because of the presence of the
gas meter.

You are full of crap.

The ventilation has to be 2% of the ground area of the place the
meter is enclosed in.

It took me two minute to find the above.
It's half wits like you causes gas explosions.

Could you clarify how the above url applies to my situation?

It has no effect on your situation, Harry hasn't got a clue.

Almost everyone here lives in a 2 storey house, of those, the majority of
them have at least 1 gas pipe running through the ceiling void, underneath
their upstairs floorboards so to speak. Of that high number of properties,
the gas pipe will go across the joists, from one 'void' to another and onto
the next and so on until it reaches the boiler / kitchen / whatever.
All of these voids would have to be ventilated by Harry's logic - there
would be rows of exterior vent bricks at joist height on almost every two
storey house in the country. I've never seen one yet, but he insists all gas
pipes in a void need their own ventilation, he's got the wrong end of the
stick, in fact, it's the wrong stick
