Lining paper is rarely considered a requirement in the UK. If its fresh plaster people usually water the paint down for a first 'mist' coat. Then you will see if your fresh plaster is really smooth (likely it won't be). Run some sandpaper over it (180 grit or finer) and maybe fill any deeper voids then 2 coats of emulsion at least depending on your choice of paint manufacturer and colour.

Interior painting....
We have 1 concrete wall and 3 plastered walls in a bedroom.
Do we need to lining paper first or as the plaster is smooth can we just paint over them all with a couple of coats of emulsion
