When I was a serving soldier stationed at Chelsea Barracks, we had a detector van try and drive in through the gates, access was obvoiusly stopped, by Guardsman carrying rifles etc. TV Dectector van drove off unable to gain access! As far as I'm aware no agency ie Police, Goverment inspectors etc have right off access to a private dwelling. But if they have a valid warrant signed by a judge then they can. But like my job I visit people, again I have no automatic powers off entry but sometimes saying that it could and would effect the payment of thier benefits does seem to open doors!
