Migration Watch UK Comment On ONS Population Projections | Migration Watch UK

Commenting on today’s population projections from the ONS

“These projections confirm that our population will increase by more than twice the population of Birmingham in the next five years, as we have been saying.

The prospect of nearly 10 million in 25 years underlines the huge impact on housing and public services, unless the government succeeds in bringing net migration right down.

Buried away on page four is the admission that 68% of the projected population growth is down to future migration.”
