N Reg aircraft under official pressure in UK??

Why is it that my bosses aircraft has been ramp inspected recently at two different locations in the UK by officials from the UK CAA / DTI and a full document check made - it was not just our aircraft it was all N reg on the airfield. I have heard of people operating N Reg to skirt around the law in the UK in terms of commercial work and training - is that what all this is about?

He was quizzed lots about my involvement ( I fly him around) they also gave a hard time to another guy at the airfield who was instructing on his aircraft. I had heard that the UK authorities rarely bother about such matters and even though its against the law in the UK without permission they just don't bother. I was also told that they do not worry too much about aerial charter work and AOC's for N Reg as "there are lots of loopholes" in the way the UK polices the matter
