##### 8 Incriminating answers and discovery
No person shall in any civil or criminal proceeding be excused from answering any question, put either viva voce or by interrogatory, or from making any discovery of documents, on the ground that the answer or discovery may criminate or tend to criminate him in respect of an offence against this Act; but his answer shall not be admissible in evidence against him in any criminal proceeding, other than a prosecution for perjury.
