Today we had a regulation that stated foot faults will be free hits.
The bowler broke the wicket in delivery with his feet and or leg - were we right to give a free hit?

On the actual question, I would have thought no free hit. Foot fault refers to those No Balls caused by the placement of the feet in the delivery stride. Are you suggesting that if the wicket was broken by the bowler's hand it would not be a free hit, but if it is broken by the foot it is a free hit?
Secondly, why is this question posted on this existing thread to which it has no relevance, and not listed as a new question in its own thread?

Indeed, a clearer definition of foot fault would be nice as the foot did cause the fault. It's on this thread as it's another case of watching what happens closely when you're checking the feet at the same time but apologies if this isn't a good enough reason.

I reiterate, it would be silly to award a free hit in one case of the non-striker's wicket by the bowler on one delivery when his foot broke the wicket, but not an another because his hand broke it. You would have some explaining to do!

Regarding No ball and free hit I would like to provide some information. MCC Law 24.6- Updated 'No Ball' Law for ICC to Adopt 1st May 2013 it is stated that the bowler is not allowed to put the wicket down (other than in an attempt to run out the non striker) at the bowler's end from the time he starts his run up (ball becomes live) after he has completed the stride after his delivery stride. If the striker's wicket is put down by any part of person of the bowler by that time either umpire shall call and signal No ball. And if it is a limited over or T20 twenty match then free hit is awarded from every No ball regardless foot fall or other reason.
Here I want to clear something the stride 'after the delivery stride'is when the back foot lands again straight after the back foot landed in the delivery stride.
