Keep England’s FGM cases in perspective

British police taking part in an operation to target FGM speak to a woman arriving by Eurostar train in London.Your report (Intelligence on FGM to be shared by UK and US, 7 September) contains the potentially misleading statement that “Between January and March, there were 1,030 cases of FGM in England, according to the NHS”.This is not a count of the number of girls who were subjected to FGM during the three-month period.
