Section 37A(7)

A person shall not be excused from providing an explanation or making a statement in compliance with a requirement imposed under subsection (5) on the ground that to do so would tend to expose him to proceedings for an offence; but an explanation so provided or statement so made may only be used in evidence against the person by whom it is made or provided— on a prosecution for an offence under section 45(9) (false explanations and statements), or on a prosecution for some other offence where in giving evidence the person makes a statement inconsistent with it.
