What is the standard width of a cavity wall. I am thinking of using a
twin skin of breeze blocks. Are there any particular construction
methods that should be followed?

It will depend on the thermal insulation and structural strength
required. See the Approved Documents (or Technical Standards in
Scotland) to the Building Regulations which will give some 'deemed to
comply' methods.
