Default London population not increasing as much as Ken Livinstone says

Discussion of transport needs in London tends to be based on the idea
that the population of London is increasing. It is, but not by as much as
Ken
Livingstone says.

Ken estimates that the population of London will increase by 700 000
by 2016 (I don't know whether you got the impression that I did that it
was
much more), but the government estimates that the increase will be only
200
000, the rest (2/3!) is Ken's wishful thinking. This is reported here :-

Interesting... Where's the bit that gives the government estimates?
