emulsion on skirtings

[alarman]

Hi all i worked with a decorator who used white emulsion on bare wood as a primer, is this normal practice?

For some "so called decorators" maybe. You should really use an approved acrylic primer/undercoat, which is not the same as emulsion, or use an oil based primer or thinned down oil based undercoat.
