The population of the UK is set to increase by 4.4 million to 65 million by 2016, according to new projections.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates 2.3 million of the rise would be a natural increase and 2.1 million down to migration.
Further projections say the population would reach 71 million by 2031 and 77 million in 2051.
