    UK population rise of 538,000 is biggest for 70 years

    The population of the UK has increased by more than half a million - the biggest rise for 70 years - according to official figures.

    There were 65,648,000 people in the UK in June 2016, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

    The ONS said that was a rise of 538,000 on the figure in 2015, equivalent to a city the size of Bradford.

    Net migration of 336,000 accounted for 62.4%, while the difference between birth and death rates made up 35.8%
