Growing Britain

Britain's population leapt by almost half a million last year, the biggest jump in half a century.

The 470 000 increase was driven by near-record levels of immigration and a rise in birthrates that was itself partly a result of growing numbers of immigrant mothers.

The country is now home to nearly 62.3million, 3.1million more than just nine years ago.
