Novelist Ruth Rendell tells More4 News she does not think the government are doing enough to fight female genital mutilation.

Rendell releases a paperback this week called Not in the Flesh.

While the main plot is the usual murder mystery, the subplot is devoted to a story about FGM, a practice that is illegal in Britain.

FGM involves the girl having all, or most, of her genitals removed.
