How long before a recruitment agency terminates employment

OrbitHeadache

I am on a zero hours contract with a recruitment agency I have just finished a 6 month assignment and the agency is trying to place me on another assignment.

How long will I stay on the agency's books without work? I did ask them and they said 7 weeks, is this correct?

Why do you think they are lying?

Most companies will have their own policies so randomly asking on the internet won't get a better answer. 

Why do you think they are not being truthful?

They can decide whatever period they want.  Just as you can decide you wouldn't accept any further work from them but don't have to tell them that you will only consider requests for, say, 6 weeks from the end of any assignment.  Being on a zero hours contract doesn't mean you can't accept work from anywhere else.
