Another UL from US type of legal stuff.

In English law :-

"You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you
do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in
Court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."

You still retain exactly the "right of silence" as previously, but now
if you do not answer a question, a court may now draw an inference
from your refusal to answer a question that you may have something to
hide, or that you may rely on subsequent "advice".

The whole idea of an "interview" is to establish facts, for or
against, an accusation of an offence. Indeed, an interview is your
chance to prove yourself innocent!
