Do I need to plaster a wall which has had the wall paper stripped or can I...

[gobi]

...just apply some primer and paint? I'm a bit worried about plastering and want to go to a safer option by just applying some primer and paint and was wondering if this was possible.
Thanks

All you need to do is make sure all the paste is off. Some sanding of the hard to get off paste might have to be done.

as long as wall in fairly good condition (no cracks) then yes you can just paint it. or if your concerned about a few hair line cracks then you can buy completly plain white wall paper that is made to cover up tiny cracks. just whack some paint on over that. about 2 quid a roll of that paper.
