I move amendment No. 21:

In page 37, between lines 17 and 18, to insert the following:

“Amendment of section 12 of Criminal Evidence Act 199245.Section 12(1) (amended by section 30 of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Act 2017) of the Criminal Evidence Act 1992 is amended in the definition of “relevant offence”—
(a) by the insertion of the following paragraph after paragraph (d):

“(da) an offence under section 33, 39 or 40 of the Domestic Violence Act 2018;”,

and

(b) in paragraph (e), by the substitution of “(c), (d) or (da)” for “(c) or (d)”.”.

This amendment was discussed when we discussed the deletion of section 34. I am happy to leave it at that.
