I think people are misunderstanding what a statutory right of entry is, it
is an "instrument" that allows entry to your premises for certain good
reasons not a carte blanche (apart from the customs man whose remit is a bit
looser than everyone else's)to come in and do what they want. What it reaaly
means is you cannot refuse them access under these circumstances. The man
from the TV licensing has no right so if you own a telly and you are not
paying for it dont let them in to have a look. The HSE's instrument excludes
private dwellings but they have a freer hand on other premises.
The queen owns the land your house is on (unless you have bought the lien or
live in certain parts of Scotland) and so all these crown servants look
after her interests. That is why your house can be compusorily purchased if
the crown thinks they need it more than you do.
