Earth Bonding Gas & Water Pipes

AncientMariner
Assuming the copper water pipe (above the stop-cock at end of MDPE pipe) is close to the gas pipe, is it acceptable/permissible for the earth bonding conductor to be a single 10 mm² green/yellow from the consumer unit to go to say the water 351 earth clamp, looped around the screw and then to the gas 351?  This without cutting the cable, so that it is one continuous length. Or if not looped around the crew, for a bare section to be opened up 3 strands and 4 strands and the screw fitted between?
Thanks.

    Surely if the termination is tight that is the important issue. As with all BS's its all in the interpretation of the end user


    "I don't think so Clive. Reading BS951 (albeit the 1999 copy). 5.2 suggests that the termination shall be capable of being possible to loop in and out." Does this just mean the design of a clamp must accept loop in and out like a continuous run with no cut. Relating to the design of the clamp rather than how its used?
