by Sarah O’Grady, Daily Express:

Almost one in three children born in 2016 have mothers from outside the UK – the highest level since records began in 1969.

This is up from 27.5 per cent the year before, with figures increasing every year since 1990, when it was just 11.6 per cent.

Researchers from the Office for National Statistics said the rise was partly due to higher fertility rates among foreign-born women.

The non-UK population rose from 8.6 million in 2015 to 9.2 million in 2016.

Poland is the most common country of birth for mothers born outside the UK, while Pakistan came out on top for foreign fathers.
