What was the majority vote difference between February 1974 and October 1974 elections?

OpenAI's Answer

In the February 1974 UK general election, the Labour Party led by Harold Wilson gained 301 seats but was 17 short of a majority, resulting in a hung parliament. The Conservative Party held 297 seats. (source)

By the October 1974 election, Labour won a very small majority of 3 seats, securing 319 seats in total. (source)

The difference in majority between the two elections was therefore a shift from a hung parliament to a slim majority of 3 seats for Labour.
