LONDON, April 15 (Reuters) - Britain's top share index was slightly lower early on Monday as disappointing data from China, the world's largest consumer of metals, triggered a selloff in basic resources shares.

China's economic recovery unexpectedly slowed in the first quarter, catching some investors by surprise after a recent surge in liquidity in the economy and an uptick in export growth had fuelled expectations of a possible surprise on the upside.
