Oops - good point David. Non parish area also is covered by MIDAS.
'Local authority area' might fit the bill. I'll think about that.
I guess National Park is needed too.

Would Local Authority do instead of county unitary and district?
Of course there are county and county borough!
Some thing is needed for Non Parished Area.
Thank You

Hmmm.... I could say loads about this, and may say some of it when I
visit
the NMR this Thursday, but the typology of admin units my project has
developed is of some relevance. See:
http://tiger.iso.port.ac.uk:7778/pls/nfp/pargaz.au_ft.home
One general comment is that the notion of a county is very
problematic.
Best wishes,
Humphrey Southall
