Statistics and Registration Service Bill

My Lords, as the noble Lord may remember, when I referred to the Bill at a much earlier stage—in the debate on the Queen’s Speech, I think—I drew attention to the report by Professor Adrian Smith on crime statistics, which the noble Lord has just mentioned. I think he now owes it to the House to tell us what the Government are going to do in response to Professor Smith’s report. It is perfectly clear that the definitions of crime and the use made of them are in fact misleading to the public. Far from being concerned with the public good, they do not actually serve the public good at all. Can the Minister respond?
