The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Definition) Order 1972
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.

It was one of the most significant Acts of Parliament to be passed by the Heath Government of 1970–74.

Elections to county councils were held on 12 April, for metropolitan and Welsh districts on 10 May, and for non-metropolitan distri ...

By the late Middle Ages they had come under royal control, with corporations established by royal charter.

A Royal Commission was appointed in 1833 to investigate the various borough corporations in England and Wales.
