Wait, when did the P45 become part of the screening process in the UK. I have my P45 and the only parties that have asked for it are banks and credit agencies. If a recruiter asks for a P45 off he bat I'm marking them as spam.

Looks like he's not wrong: https://www.gov.uk/paye-forms-p45-p60-p11d/p45
As you say, I don't see any legitimate reason for a recruiter to have it though, just a new employer when you begin employment?

Well, if tried a strategy of not telling the new employer direct what your salary is, or worse, lying, they will quickly see when the P45 is passed onto their payroll to sort out your P45. Which is why it is better to simply state you promised the agent that you would discuss the salary with them, and would then focus on discussing the specific about the role with the employer.
You know you do not have to provide a P45 to your new employer
Just say "sorry I lost it put me on the emergency Tax code"
I Have started jobs with out a p45 and unless you have complex tax status its not a big deal.
