The counties used for purposes other than local government, such as lieutenancy, also changed, being either a single administrative county or a grouping of administrative counties and associated county boroughs.
De counties, som blev anvendt til andet end lokalstyre som lieutenancy (nærmest et statholderskab), ændredes også, og var enten et enkelt administrativt county eller en samling af administrative counties og "tilknyttede" county boroughs.
