Ceremonial counties are not part of the administrative hierarchy, they form
a separate hierarchy - the border between ceremonial Durham and ceremonial
North Yorkshire goes through the Stockton-on-Tees unitary authority along
the river.   Do you mean "metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties?"

The mention of NUTS worries me.  In England it doesn't encode the actual
administrative hierarchy anyway and classifies this area as

UKC... North East England
UKC1... Tees Valley and Durham
UKC11... Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees

I trust we aren't going to see agglomerations like 'Hartlepool and Stockton'
appear in the database instead of the actual administrative regions.
