Agreed. It seems to be a complete and utter shambles. Perhaps they have just figured out that it will sound the death knell for IR35 (you will either be genuinely in business or you will have employee rights from the agency) and they are now tulipting bricks.

The government have only just woken up to how much it will screw the economy which is already screwed.

Also they are becoming more aware that we are interpreting European Directives to our detriment.

David Cameron moves to water down new EU job laws - Telegraph

It seems Cameron is considering making some last minute changes to the AWR - surely this is too late now?
