All,
I am running some Network cable in behind a plasterboard partition wall. The plasterboard wall separates two rooms either side.
Side A contains a double gang socket (ref 101) and a single light switch (ref 102). Side B contains only a double gang socket (ref 201).

Hopefully the pictures help somewhat.
101 is fed upwards from the ground floor.
102 is fed downwards from the loft.
201 is fed upwards from the ground floor.
There are wires going all of the way down from the loft to the ground floor where 101 and 201 are located.
The house was cabled up before we moved in and the installers have drilled through the horizontal bracers of the stud wall so that the wires can be dropped from the loft and down through the stud wall. See the following pictures:
This is where 101 is located looking upwards towards the loft:

This is where 201 is located, looking upwards towards the loft:

When looking at the first picture the Westerly wall is an external, masonry wall.
My questions:
1. Will there be any concern with drilling a hole in the horizontal studs to the right of 201inbetween a separate channel (i.e. inbetween two vertical beams)?
2. Will there be any concern with drilling a hole in the horizontal stud to the left of 101 inbetween a separate channel (i.e. inbetween two vertical beams)?
3. If the above is possible how can I drill a hole in the horizontal studs? I was thinking of making a flap in the plasterboard, and then covering it up somehow?
Any help appreciated.
