Sort of. The 1974 creations are Metropolitan Districts in law, even
though most have the status of borough (and many the status of city).

I *think* they all do now, actually. (I'm sure someone will now
find a MD that isn't!)

There are lots of MDs that are not Cities but you may be right that all
have the status of Borough, if not City.
