after the conservatives' victory in the 1979 general election, eldon griffiths (parliamentary adviser to the police federation of england and wales) moved a motion "that the sentence of capital punishment should again be available to the courts" on 19 july 1979. while the motion was not expected to pass, the margin of its defeat (243 to 362) was much wider than expected. later in the same parliament, the criminal justice bill provided an opportunity on 11 may 1982 for several new clauses to be proposed which would have reinstated capital punishment. the first, which simply declared that "a person convicted of murder shall be liable to capital punishment", was tabled by edward gardner, and rejected by 195 to 357. it was followed by an alternative under which capital punishment would be available "as the penalty for an act of terrorism involving the loss of human life"; this new clause was rejected by 176 to 332. a further new clause proposing capital punishment "as the penalty for murder by means of firearms or explosives" was rejected by 176 to 343. then a new clause allowing for capital punishment "as the penalty for murder of a police or prison officer" was rejected by 208 to 332. finally a new clause allowing capital punishment "as the penalty for murder in the course of robbery and burglary which involves the use of offensive weapons" was rejected by 151 to 331.
