Do you think it might be a criminal offence?

sure it's legal, but if company B want to check your SC clearance they'll have to talk to the vetting team at company A. How will that work out for you?

Hmmm, should I do this thing that is contrary to the honesty/transparency that SC requires (assuming you mean double-billing for the same time)?

I'm going to go with "no", don't be a muppet.

Read your first contract and see what it says about your working hours.

If the times client B wants you don't clash then go for it.

That would be my default answer as well. If you have to ask a question like that and then have to use the 'is it legal' line then you are really going to struggle with the nuances of actually doing it.

You also won't be cleared to work on the old client as your SC will have been transfered to your new one so you are gonna have to tell everyone whats going on to get the clearance sorted. I'm pretty sure your client won't like it.

If the men in black ask if you have been moonlighting simply say that you are not authorised to divulge that information.

They will appreciate that and probably bump you to DV.

not necessarily true.

Often a company will simply check with the vetting people that you have a valid SC. This is common where a consultant might be working for multiple companies who require clearance. In the OPs case, assuming he's honest, there would be no transfer.
