Population figures released on Tuesday from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the first snapshot of the country's size since the 2021 Census, found that the population of the UK rose by 6.7 per cent to an estimated 67,596,281 people by mid-2022 from just a little over a decade prior in mid-2011.
