Yep. Perverting the course of justice is a far reaching offence but for this level (and there are a few precedents), then you'd be looking at a few weeks inside.
An aggravating feature, in the judges eyes, might be his position as a minister means he should be expected to st an example and this might increase any sentence.
Of course he's innocent until proven guilty and may well be found not guilty at trial.
