1979 United Kingdom general election in Wales

The 1979 United Kingdom general election in Wales saw the Labour Party win the most votes and seats in Wales.

Background
The Labour party won the most votes in Wales, although the Conservatives won most votes UK-wide.

John Morris, Baron Morris of Aberavon was under the impression that Prime Minister James Callaghan would call a general election in the autumn of 1978, but called it off. A Welsh devolution referendum was held in March 1979, two months prior. A Welsh Assembly was rejected, with regional distrust as a potential factor.
