Boris Johnson wrong to claim crime has fallen, says watchdog
The Prime Minister and the Home Office have been criticised by the UK statistics watchdog for incorrectly claiming crime has fallen.
Speaking in The Commons on Monday, Boris Johnson said crime had come down by 14% since he took office.
It followed a Home Office press release last week that claimed the government " continues to cut crime".
The UK Statistics Authority (UKSA) said the Prime Minister " did not make clear" the figure excluded fraud.
It also said the Home Office had presented figures in a " misleading way".
The Authority was responding to a complaint by the Liberal Democrats , who accused Mr Johnson and Home Secretary Priti Patel of " fiddling the figures".
The government has commented several times on the stats, released This Week for England and Wales, which track crime for the year ending September 2021.
The figures for all crimes estimated by The Crime Survey of England and Wales in fact showed a 14% increase for the period, including a 47% rise in fraud and computer misuse as people moved their lives online during the lockdowns.
But speaking in The Commons , the Prime Minister said crime had fallen by 14% without mentioning that this figure did not include The Rise in fraud and computer crime.
Mr Johnson made The Claim while taking questions from MPs following the publication of Sue Gray's report into Downing Street parties during lockdown.
Responding to the Liberal Democrats ' complaint, UKSA chair Sir David Norgrove said in a letter the official statistics " quite properly" included fraud and computer misuse and the Prime Minister had excluded them but " did not make this clear".
" If fraud and computer misuse are counted in total crime as they should be, total crime in fact increased by 14% between the year ending September 2019 and the year ending September 2021, " he wrote.
He added the Home Office press release presented the statistics " to give a positive picture of trends in crime in England and Wales".
He Said The Omission of fraud and computer misuse was " stated" in the release but in the title and two other places it had not been made clear crime had only fallen if these offences were not included.
Sir David also noted the Home Office had suggested The Fall in other types of crime was related to the government's so-called Beating Crime Plan.
He Said " it would have been helpful" if it had been made clear The Office of National Statistics actually believed falls in the relevant crime types were due to the pandemic.
Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said: " This is a damning verdict from the official watchdog. Yet more distortions from Boris Johnson and his cabinet to play down the extent of crime.
" When the government's record on crime is so bad that both the Prime Minister and home secretary feel the need to fiddle the figures, it is clear we need a New Approach .
" The Prime Minister must come before Parliament to apologise for his latest lie and set the record straight. "
Liberal Democrat Chief Whip Wendy Chamberlain raised the issue in The Commons on Thursday, prompting deputy speaker Dame Rosie Winterton to respond: " If an error has been made I Am sure The Minister will seek to correct it as quickly as possible. "
