Part of the process is described as a meeting of minds which basically means you are both in possession of the full facts and agree the terms therein the contract for the principal... Simples isn't it... If either party are shown to have acted improperly like telling you its fine to substitute while telling the other party you are not allowed to then the fraud lands with them along with the costs and consequences of them knowingly committing fraud.
However even better than that:
We already know that working practices count more than the contract and seeing as most government departments have happily told everyone to FSCK off for 10 days unpaid time off at Christmas. For the last five or so years, they have enforced their lack of obligation to offer work and granted every contractor on site the wonderful christmas present of teflon shorts to protect them from ANY ir35 investigation EVER
