The case, involving an unnamed girl, was detailed in a Government report into human trafficking, which claimed that the number of people trafficked in Britain rose by more than half last year.

According to the report, 371 children were exploited, including 95 from Vietnam, 67 from Nigeria and 25 from China.

The girl's organs were intended to be sold to people seeking a transplant, and child protection charities warned the case was unlikely to be an isolated incident.

It's unlikely that a trafficker is going to take this risk and bring just one child into the UK. It is likely there was a group."

The details were published on Anti-Slavery Day, as the government announced tough new sentencing plans for traffickers, under which offenders who already have a conviction for a serious sexual or violent offence will get an automatic life sentence...'
