    David Cameron stands firm on EU referendum date

    Prime minister rejects calls from Eurosceptics to hold vote before planned date of 2017, or even to hold two votes

    David Cameron has issued a blunt warning to Conservative Eurosceptics that his "very clear, very decisive policy"

    to hold a referendum on Britain's EU membership by the end of 2017 is not up for renegotiation.

    In an attempt to draw a line under a bumpy few weeks in which Eurosceptics demanded a toughening of his

    policy and Tory traditionalists criticised him for pressing ahead with a gay marriage bill, the prime minister

    said he would stand firm.

    But Cameron, who spoke of his pride in legalising gay marriage, tried to reach out to the right by saying he

    would now focus on the "big picture" issues of the economy rather than social issues.
