The AWR is not new legislation and I've seen simar clauses in my contracts before.
Essentially you ar being asked to confirm that any personnel supplied under this contract are not caught by AWR - clause 3 of which says that the worker supplied is under supervision and direction of the hirer. I'm guessing you want to be outside of IR35 so you don't want to be saying the person doing the work is a 'worker' per this legislation.
The bit you're getting your knickers in a twist about is just confirming who the end client is that receives the work output. It does not have any bearing on who you send the invoice to.
There are heaps of contract review specialists out there a 30 second Google search or a look through this forum will reveal them to you.

Don't know who to believe now....hasn't ANYONE any ideas?

It's such an odd time you are likely to be seeing all sorts in contracts as agencies and clients try and get to grips with it all.

Unusual Contract Addendum
I was chasing a new contract, and something I have never seen before came up: the Agency Workers' regulations. The agent wanted me to sign an addendum that looked like this:
We, <My Ltd Co>, entering into a contractual assignment with <Agent> confirm
that we have read and understood the Agency Workers Regulations 2010.
We confirm that we are not supplying agency workers according to Regulation 3(2)(b).
We confirm that we regard <client company> as our client for the purposes of this legislation.
We also confirm that we are operating in business on our own account.
Regarding the relationship between ourselves and <Client Company> we confirm that this is a business relationship and we regard the contractual assignment as falling outside of the Intermediaries legislation (IR35), otherwise known as Pass IR35.
Aside from never having to sign something like this before, the line "We confirm that we regard <client company> as our client for the purposes of this legislation." rang alarm bells: I would be contracted to, and issue invoices to, the agent.
Has anyone seen anything like this before, and what is its status/value
This is all private sector stuff, liable to run to April next year
Thanks
