"Mr Grayling replied by promising to "take account of the request by the
Statistics Authority, particularly with regard to the changes to
recording practices made in 2002-03".

Did you read the article? There was a change in the way crime figures were
recorded, resulting in an apparent jump in the crime rate. Not really big
news, unless you're attempting to show there's been a rocketing in some
crime rate since - I don't know, say 1890?.
