===Scottish nationalism===
[[Scottish National Party|Scottish nationalism]] grew as a political force, while the [[Decimal Day|decimalisation of British coinage]], begun under the previous Labour government, was completed eight months after Heath came to power. The [[Central Policy Review Staff]] was established by Heath in February 1971,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Greenwood|first1=John&nbsp;R.|last2=Wilson|first2= David Jack|title=Public administration in Britain today|publisher=Routledge|year=1989|page=58|isbn=978-0-04-445195-2}}</ref> while the [[Local Government Act 1972]] changed the boundaries of the counties of England and Wales and created Metropolitan Counties around the major cities (e.g. Merseyside around Liverpool): this caused significant public anger. Heath did not divide England into regions, choosing instead to await the report of the [[Crowther Commission]] on the constitution; the 10 [[Government Office Regions]] were eventually set up by the Major government in 1994.
