Reform UK MP Richard Tice has called for British people to have more children following demographic projections that suggest white Britons will become a minority by 2063.
Whilst acknowledging he hadn't studied the research in detail, Tice emphasised the need for policies that support British families.
The research, conducted by Professor Matt Goodwin and based on Office for National Statistics and census data, projects that the white British share of the population will decline to 57 per cent by 2050 before falling below half in 2063.
The analysis suggests that by 2100, white British people could represent just 33.7 per cent of the UK population.

The study also forecasts a substantial increase in foreign-born and second-generation immigrants, rising from below 20 per cent currently to 33.5 per cent within 25 years.
Richard Tice told GB News: "The reality is, yes, we want more British people to be able to feel that they can grow a family, and that's a very good thing.
"I've not studied Mr Goodwin's research in detail. It may or may not be accurate, based on whatever assumptions, who knows.
"But look, at the end of the day, let's just focus on making people better off. And the way you do that is encouraging work, encouraging risk-taking from entrepreneurs, and that's how you encourage economic growth.
"And I think it's a really good thing. And I just repeat this, it's really important family, community that leads to a better country. And that's our values, that's what we stand for.
"And, funnily enough, it seems to be resonating. We're leading the polls, and we nearly caused a huge upset in Scotland in the by-election on Thursday night.

"We've caused a seismic shock to Scottish politics."
By the century's end, six in 10 UK residents will either have been born abroad or have at least one immigrant parent, according to the projections.
The Muslim population is estimated to grow from seven per cent today to 11.2 per cent by 2050 and 19.2 per cent by 2100.
Professor Goodwin's report cautioned that the demographic findings would generate "considerable degree of anxiety, concern and political opposition" amongst voters who favour reduced immigration levels.
The professor stated that concerns about preserving "the symbols, traditions, culture and ways of life of the traditional majority group" would need to be "recognised, respected and addressed" to prevent "political turbulence and polarisation".
Earlier this week, GB News presenter Steven Edgington described the projected demographic shift as "a huge moment in British history for the first time ever in this nation's more than a thousand years of proud history."
Responding to the comments from GB News the he referenced party leader Nigel Farage's recent comments on families.
"For example Nigel has talked quite recently about families. We need more British born people, so we need to be less reliant on immigration. And that's the issue," Tice explained.
