I commend the comments of my noble friend Lady Chakrabarti, the noble Lord, Lord Paddick, and the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, in acknowledging the proportionality that is involved when we are talking about some of the datasets to which we have been referring this evening, particularly around transgender, but also the fact that, if we live by the Macpherson principles, the important thing in many cases is how the victim identifies themselves, rather than the abstract case. I reject the potential conjecture on the part of the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, that the data is corrupt.
