    giving Labour a majority of three seats. It was widely expected that Edward Heath's leadership of the

    he had contested in almost a decade as leader.[33]TheScottish Nationalist Partysecured its highest-

    ever Westminster party representation with 11 seats.Enoch Powellwas elected to parliament

    inNorthern Irelandfor theUlster Unionist Party.[34]Powell, who was dismissed from the Tory shadow

    cabinet in April 1968 following his controversialRivers of Blood speechon immigration, had left the

    Conservative Party at 28 February election and had recently rejected an offer to stand as a candidate

    for theNational Front.[35]

    United KingdomEdward Heathwas bombed in a suspected provisional IRA attack. Mr Heath had

    been away from home when the bomb exploded, but returned just 10 minutes afterwards.[48]
