Retrospective legislation

The Conservative leader must make it very clear that he will introduce retrospective legislation to enable such contracts entered into have a non compensatory cancellation retrospectively added. While actual cost incurred must be duly considered for repayment, the compensation for "loss of profits" and any termination payments must be nullified.
This must be made very clear to all companies that are involved in government contracts in order that they cannot plead ignorance.
And, as a reward for their actions, all senior civil servants involved in such forward committing contracts should also be made aware their involvement would be under scrutiny.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
