	The problem of "county confusion" - and how to resolve it
		For example, the LGA 1972's "county" of "Norfolk" is defined in terms of the boundaries of the LGA 1888's "administrative county" of "Norfolk" which was defined in terms of the historic County of Norfolk.
		With regard to Wales, the "counties" of the LA 1997 are defined to be the "preserved counties" of the LGA 1972.
		This is the phrase used by the Encyclopaedia Britannica to refer to the Counties and is also apparently that preferred by the UK Government (which, for example, describes the "historic county of Yorkshire" in an appendix to the "Your Region: Your Choice" White Paper).

	City Mayors: Local government in the United Kingdom
		Of course, the English ‘shire’ counties themselves are deeply historical, being of Anglo-Saxon origin as ‘shires’ and the Norman ‘counties’ (as in ruled by a count) and while some historic counties no longer exist in an administrative sense they remain as ceremonial counties, each with their own Lord Lieutenant (as the monarch’s designated local representative).
		Prior to this, the first administrative counties were created in 1889 and amended only in 1965 (in the case of Greater London) before the introduction of the metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties (see unitary section) in 1974 (as amended in 1985 with the abolition of the metropolitan counties and the creation of the London Boroughs).
		Counties were divested of their strategic planning function under the 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, which placed this function under each regional assembly when sitting as the regional planning body to agree the regional spatial strategy.

		In Wales these local government areas are known as either counties or county boroughs, while in Scotland they are variously known as council areas or local government authorities or, in some cases, cities.
		Whereas the administrative counties of England and the counties and county boroughs of Wales are the only counties with statutory and administrative powers, there are other areas known as counties throughout the United Kingdom that lack administrative power.
		These areas are known as ceremonial counties because each has a lord-lieutenant and a high sheriff who serve as the representatives of the monarch in the county and who represent the county at the ceremonial functions of the monarchy.

		New administrative counties were created, but these did not affect the boundaries of the ancient and geographical counties and the boundaries of Lancashire remained unaltered.
		The counties of this country are an integral part of our history and culture and it is essential that their true identity is preserved.
