Is electrical work going the same way as gas work? Will light switches for
example, be disappearing from B&Q cos it will needs a qualified person to do
the job?

Gas fittings haven't disappeared so why should light fitting?

But there is nothing in place that says you can't carry out any DIY for yourself. That's
why it is called Do It Yourself. The point of being able to carry out work for others,
and profit from that work, is the coverage of the legislations. You can still quite
happily blow yourself and your property to kingdom come with a faulty gas or electrical
installation, just as long as you don't interfere with the property and well being of
others around you. It's this point that gets you into trouble.
