I move amendment No. 27:

In page 12, line 8, to delete “Perjury and Related Offences Act 2019” and substitute “Criminal Justice (Perjury and Related Offences) Act 2021”.

Amendment No. 27 amends the short title of the Bill in accordance with the usual formulation used for Government Bills, which provides for criminal offences by renaming it the Criminal Justice (Perjury and Related Offences) Act 2021. Amendment No. 28 is a technical amendment to the commencement power provided for in section 17(5) of the Bill by amending the title of the Minister to Minister for Justice in accordance with the Alteration of Title Order, which took effect on 1 November 2020.
