Check the sump, rocker cover and have the timing cover off too incase its throwing it out the camshaft seal. If you are loosing that much you should be able to see it.

Also you SURE its low on oil, you need to be really low to see the oil light sand often by the time that light is on its too late to have avoided damage. I would stop driving it till you sort out whats going on.
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.
