Sorry, you're not going to get a definitive answer here (or indeed on the Gov.uk website or any other national website).
Each council area has different recycling capabilities. So, for example, person A might live in one council area and be able to put (say) empty bleach bottles into their recycling bins. Their next door neighbour, B, who lives just the other side of the local authority boundary might be prohibited from doing so. However B might live in an area where books can be recycled but A doesn't. So you need to consult your local council's website to see what can be recycled in your area.
However, to the best of my knowledge (supported by the fact that all relevant packaging seems to declare 'not currently recycled'), no types of plastic film can be recycled anywhere. (So that means no crisp packets, no clingfilm and no plastic carrier bags, etc). Also I've never come across any list of recyclables that includes any form of aluminium foil (so that's the stuff you wrap the Christmas turkey in ruled out, along with the foil cases for cakes and pies, together with your pill foils, etc).
Here's a complete A to Z of items listed on our local council's website:

but I urge you to check your own local council's website, as their rules might well be different.
