Are there any practical reasons why wiring should not be run behind
skirting boards?

How old is the house,
ive encountered gas, water, and electric running vertical horizontal and
every angle between, in walls and skirting.
Most Victorian/30s houses, which still foam over 50% of the housing stock,
had sockets installed on the skirting with no conduit and lead or rubber
cable.
Arguably less chance of someone at a latter date fitting shelves to the
skirting.
However we now live in nanny land, "practical" is a word Rarely found in
legislation.
