Do they? I overheard a conversation between some contractors who reckon that because they are working on secure systems due to the nature of the work it is reasonable to use the client’s hardware and phone systems because they would not be able to use there own, any truth in this?

Secure sites give some IR35 protection?
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

Also it would be imposable for me to work anywhere other than the clients site and I could not easily substitute as my ltd is not list x.
Could I argue all of these points in the unlikely event of being investigated?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous?

As regards RoS, as long as you have the right, that is sufficient. You don't have to actually exercise it (although that would help greatly of course!): you may not be List X, but you could use an already cleared and suitably qualified subbie if you can find one.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Not necessarily.
Someone I know claims that he failed an IR35 investigation because he was direct with GCHQ and couldn't mount any defence that he was a business not an employee, since no-one could talk about the work or conditions that they worked in.Comment

You can talk about the level of control, direction and substitution without being explicit about what it is you're working with. "My job is to classify patient records" - you don't have to say who the patient is or what they are suffering from, do you?Comment
