British Citizen, British passport ... surely the individual's travel arrangements are nothing to do with the UK Border Agency?

See the introduction paragraph (in layman's terms: doesn't apply to people from the European Economic Area, and that means Brits):

Application
5. Save where expressly indicated, these Rules do not apply to those persons who are entitled to enter or remain in the United Kingdom by virtue of the provisions of the 2006 EEA Regulations. But any person who is not entitled to rely on the provisions of those Regulations is covered by these Rules.
