Not quite sure what you are planning, but gas pipes must never be encased in an unvented space.
As mentioned NEVER run a gas pipe through an un vented space.
Then consider what might happen if someone puts a screw or nail or drill into the wall and punctures the gas pipe because they didn't know ( or forgot ) there was a gas pipe there.

This isn't factually correct.
Good forum fodder from a problem solver and alternative thinker.

Or has this common sense regulation been removed from modern "safety" procedures.
And the space under your floor boards ? thats not ventilated but is still a void....and no requirement to ventilate it, the pipework in timber framed walls has to be contained between two pieces of timber making a small channel again no need to ventilate, as for common sense would you really ventilate a 22mm x 22mm channel with a gas pipe in it ?
