"Local Government Act 1972: Section 2", legislation.gov.uk, The National Archives, 1972 c. 70 (s. 2) sub-section (3) specifies that the authority's name should include "county council", but amendments in subsequent statutory instruments mean this section no longer applies to the county councils for Cornwall, Durham, Isle of Wight, North Yorkshire, Northumberland, Shropshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire.
