My Lords, did my noble and learned friend read the report in last Thursday’s Guardian, in which it was said, "““Research published yesterday by the Crown Prosecution Service … and Home Office Inspectorates estimates that of the 50,000 rapes thought to occur each year, between 75% and 95% are never reported. And almost a third of reported cases recorded by police as ‘no crime’ should have been properly investigated as rape””?"
Are those not the real concerns that we should have about the problems of rape, and do they not rather overwhelm the sort of statistic that my noble friend Lord Campbell-Savours continues to bring back to this House?

My Lords, I agree with my noble friend that the real and very serious problem is the number of people who suffer serious crime—and it is a serious crime—but do not have the confidence to come forward and report it. We need to deal with that. Of course one miscarriage of justice is one too many, but it is very important that we do not discourage other victims of crime from coming forward.
