More babies were born in the UK in 2011-12 than any year since 1972, the Office for National Statistics says.

In all, 813,200 UK births were recorded in the year, said the ONS, contributing to population growth that was, in absolute terms, the highest in the EU.

UK population grew by 419,900 to 63.7 million between between June 2011 and June 2012, according to ONS estimates.

There were 254,400 more births than deaths and 165,600 more people coming to the UK than leaving.

There were 517,800 migrants from overseas while 352,100 people left the country.

The UK remains the third-most populous EU member state, behind Germany and France.

What a complete clusterfuck..... 

And that is before the Gypsys Tramps and Thieves arrive next year....

And still we give child benefit for new 4th, 5th etc children  and in 70 years time they'll need state pensions etc even if half of them have managed to work enough to earn them.

And I see the BBC can't quote the relevant stats either  .  It's population density that matters.  IIRC we're still not top of that in the EU
