Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Crime Reduction.
Crime Reduction
The right hon. Gentleman is wrong; we do not recognise that figure. In fact, as I have already pointed out, convictions have increased by 40 per cent. since 1997, and at the same time there has been a reduction in crimes overall and a reduction in the chances of becoming a victim of crime. There have been more convictions, as a proportion of a smaller amount of crime, and I think that that is a success.
