- The Local Government Commission for England was the body responsible for reviewing the structure of local government in England from 1992 to 2002. It was established under the Local Government Act 1992, replacing the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The Commission could be ordered by the Secretary of State to undertake "structural reviews" in specified areas and recommend the creation of unitary authorities in the two-tier shire counties of England. The Commission, chaired by John Banham, conducted a review of all the non-metropolitan counties of England from 1993 to 1994, making various recommendations on their future. After much political debate and several legal challenges, the Commission's proposals resulted in the abolition of Berkshire county council and the counties of Avon, Cleveland, Hereford and Worcester and Humberside (created in 1974). Combined with a second wave of reviews in 1995, under the chairmanship of David Cooksey, the Commission's proposals led to the creation of unitary authorities covering many urban areas of England, including cities like Bristol, Kingston upon Hull, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Stoke-on-Trent and Plymouth. Reforms in the rest of Great Britain followed a different course. Following the structural review, the Commission then reviewed electoral arrangements in English local authorities, re-warding based on population changes. It was replaced by the Boundary Committee for England in 2002, which finished this review cycle in 2004. (en)
- 英格蘭地方政府委員會（英語：Local Government Commission for England）存在於1992年至2002年，是一個負責檢討架構的組織。委員會經《》成立，取代舊有的（Local Government Boundary Commission for England），受指派對指定地區的地方政府展開「結構性檢討」，以及針對英格蘭的兩層式非都市郡結構，提出建議增設單一管理區。委員會由（Sir John Banham）擔任首任主席，並在1993年至1994年間檢討英格蘭所有非都市郡，就這些非都市郡的將來路向提出多項建議。 經過多番政治辯論和法律挑戰，委員會的建議最終促成伯克郡郡議會的裁撤，以及、克利夫蘭、、以及（成立於1974年）各郡被廢除。此後，繼任主席（Sir David Cooksey）在1995年主持了第二輪檢討，決定把英格蘭不少市區劃入增設的單一管理區，當中包括布里斯托、侯城、萊斯特、德比、諾定咸、和普利茅斯等城市。不過，這些發展趨勢，均與當時英國其他地區的迥異。 結構性檢討完成後，委員會又檢討英格蘭地方當局的選舉安排，並根據人口轉變進行。委員會最終於2002年由取代，而有關選舉重劃安排的檢討，要到2004年才由該委員會完成。 (zh)
