Would this also apply to a fire in a lounge where the bedroom is an internal
room opening off the lounge? (The bedroom has an external window.)

I think as long as the ventilation for the gas fire is directly into
the lounge and not via the bedroom that should be OK. (Ventilation for
the first 7kW of the fire's input is considered to be 'adventitious'
i.e. from draughts etc, so purpose-provided ventitlation is only
required for inputs over 7KW, but all the same I'd be leery of a fire
in a well-draughtproofed internal room.)
