Population soars due to foreign family baby boom

IMMIGRATION accounts for more than four-fifths of Britain’s population growth in the past decade, figures showed last night.
GETTY
New
arrivals and their offspring accounted for 3.8 million out of a 4.6
million expansion in numbers in the UK between 2001 and 2012.
Official
figures hide the true picture because they fail to include births to
immigrant parents, according to Migration Watch, the pressure group.
Unless annual migration is drastically cut, Britain will need 10 new
cities the size of Birmingham to accommodate the extra population, its
report found.
The findings come ahead of the
release of official figures tomorrow that are expected to show another
huge surge in arrivals from European Union countries.
It is now undeniable that the massive scale of net migration has been the main cause of our population growth.
David Cameron is expected to make a major speech within days revealing detailed plans for reducing the influx.
But
Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migration Watch, said: “This is about
population growth, not about citizenship. Those born in the UK to
settled immigrant parents are British citizens, irrespective of their
parents’ country of birth.
“That said, it is now
undeniable that the massive scale of net migration has been the main
cause of our population growth and that, in the future, our population
growth is likely to be almost entirely due to migration.
“The
conventional official statistics published by the Office for National
Statistics do not make this clear.” He added: “The reality is that even
if net migration is bought down to 165,000 a year, we will, in the next
25 years, have to build the equivalent of 10 cities the size of
Birmingham – amounting to almost twice the population of Scotland.”
Migration
Watch estimated that net migration accounted for 84 per cent of
Britain’s population growth between 2001 and 2012, far higher than the
Office for National Statistics’ 57 per cent estimate. The pressure
group claimed that official figures failed to take into account of
births to immigrant parents.
Official forecasts could also have “seriously underestimated” the size of a looming population boom, Migration Watch warned.
With
longer life expectancy and lower infant mortality, official forecasts
suggest the country’s population is on course to reach 90 million by the
end of the century. Migration Watch believes it could be even higher.
The
report last night added to the pressure on the Prime Minister ahead of
his speech on immigration. Mr Cameron is expected to try to address the
surge in support for Ukip by detailing measures to prevent newcomers
milking the benefits system.
Ukip immigration
spokesman, MEP Steven Woolfe, said: “The composition of the next
Parliament will be crucial in getting a grip of the issues that emanate
from these statistics.
“It’s time to stop talking and start acting.”
Immigration
and Security Minister James Brokenshire said: “Net migration is down by
a quarter since the peak under the last government – our reforms have
led to net migration from outside the EU falling to levels not seen
since the 1990s.
“The Government has reformed
benefits, healthcare and housing rules to make them among the tightest
in Europe and we continue to see an increase in the number of British
citizens in work.”
