Do regulations require routine replacement of lead pipes

[CANDYPANDY]

If I replace my old conventional boiler ( 40 years old) with a new combi boiler, would I be required by law to replace old lead pipework currently supplying my gas fire and gas hob, even though this would vastly increase the amount of work and disruption involved.

not unless it is leaking , but your new combi might require a larger gas supply and might involve the lead , best just to get it done to be honest, but no legal requirement
