    As many as 8,000 cases of forced marriage were reported in England last year.

    The report calculates that, in 2008, between 5,275 and 7,750 cases were reported to the authorities in England.

    The special unit of the British Foreign Office dealt with 420 cases last year almost triple the 152 in 2005 and has now issued guidance to health workers and teachers on how to spot potential victims.
