31. In the case of an inquiry contemplated in section 20, the Commission may proceed with the private hearing of a person consenting thereto or applying therefor and exclude every other person from the place of the hearing.

The testimony so given is confidential; the Commission may, nevertheless, in a report, use the information so obtained, but solely in such a manner that it cannot be connected in any way with the witness or another person.

This section does not prevent a witness from agreeing to repeat his testimony in whole or in part at a hearing incamera or at a public hearing.
