Business question from Phil Woolas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 July 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Leader of the House is an admired Member of the House, and he acknowledged this morning that crime fell under the Labour Government. I am very grateful to him for putting that matter right, but he also said that Sir Michael Scholar had admonished the Prime Minister for misrepresenting the crime figures. What action does he intend to take on that? Is he embarrassed by the Prime Minister's mistake, or are we to assume that there is a deliberate strategy to misrepresent independent statistics?
