If you are a Barrister and you swear an affidavit you know to be false.. what consequences?

There was a somewhat similar case in todays scottish papers about a solicitor providing a false alibi for a client ,he will go to jail and be struck off .If you have genuine proof send copies to the d.p.p. and the Law society plus the Lord Chancellors office for a similar outcome.Iwill watch the papers with interest. Though I wont hold my breath for action ,THE DEVIL LOOKS AFTER HIS OWN.
