Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921
The Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom, now repealed, which set out the powers and functions of certain Tribunals of Inquiry along with the procedures for the taking of evidence. The Act did not give blanket powers for a tribunal of inquiry to be set up "ad hoc". For a tribunal to be established under the Act, the matter in question would need to be one of urgent public significance; and would need to be authorised by the Secretary of State. If these prerequisites were met, such an inquiry would be established with judicial powers – in the same way as the High Court or the Court of Session in Scotland. 

The Act was passed before Ireland separated from the United Kingdom. It remains in force, as amended, as part of law of public inquiries in the Republic of Ireland
