I'm wiring up my conservatory. Obviously I'm going to employ a qualified electrician to make it live.
My question is regards to conduit (white, plastic). Can I run it horizontally and comply with the regs?
Thank you.

If it's surface-run - run it anywhere you like.
If it's concealed in the fabric - if you can get it more than 2ins (50mm) deeper than the surface - run it anywhere you like.
Otherwise... horizontal runs should be confined to within 6 inches of the ceiling/wall junction (yeah right, in a conservatory! ;-) or horizontally from visible accessories (sockets, switches, and the like).
Bear in mind that the widely-available 20mm-diam round conduit is scarcely man enough to take two 2.5mmsq T&Es - singles is what's normally used within conduit...

You could run it diagonally or in circles and it would still comply with the regs.

I should mention that this is assuming the wiring is surface mounted on the conservatory.
