Britain's Population To Rise 10M More 25 Years from Now!

Nearly two thirds of the rise in Britain's population over the next 25 years will be because of immigration, according to official figures.

The Office for National Statistics said that Britain's population will rise by 10 million by 2037 to 73.3 million – equivalent to a city bigger than London

The ONS said 60% of this increase – or 5.8 million – was due to migration, either directly through new arrivals into the country or indirectly through the impact on the birth rate.

The official figures suggest that more than 215,000 immigrants will come to Europe every year, significantly more than David Cameron's plans to cut population growth to less than 100,000.

The figures also project an increasingly ageing population with the average age increasing from 39.7 years old in 2012 to 42.8 by mid-2037
