What about a Part 2 inquiry under section 18?

We received legal advice yesterday to the effect that, in the judicial system, little weight would be attached to the fact that witnesses had engaged with the inquiry because the committee could not make findings of fact. We received advice that in a Part 2 inquiry under section 18, somebody cannot claim privilege on the grounds of self-incrimination so would the Minister consider such an inquiry?
