I must admit that I am rather surprised by this, I can only assume that the majority of the evidence was actually obtained by Lord Saville's team, actually from those under investigation.
If that is the case, then, those men were given assurances that legal proceeding against them would not follow as a result of any statements made by them, otherwise they would be incriminating themselves, I think it is safe to assume those assurances were made in writing beforehand.
