23.—(1) Where any respondent or applicant has supplied to the Committee or the Secretary on their behalf the name of any person to whom reference may be made confidentially as to his character or conduct the Committee may consider any information received from such person in consequence of such reference without disclosing the same to the respondent or applicant.
(2) The Committee may receive oral, documentary, or other evidence of any fact which appears to them relevant to the hearing of the case before them:
Provided that where a fact which it is sought to prove or the form in which any evidence is tendered is such that it would not be admissible in criminal proceedings in an English court, the Committee shall not receive evidence of that fact or in that form, unless after consultation with the Legal Assessor they are satisfied that it is desirable in the interests of justice to receive it having regard to the difficulty and expense of obtaining evidence which would be so admissible.
(3) The Committee may cause any person to be called as a witness in any proceedings before them whether or not the parties consent thereto.
(4) Questions may be put to any witness by the Committee through the Chairman or by the Legal Assessor with the leave of the Chairman.
