Why did Labour choose this policy to save Cameron ?????
Gay marriage opponents warn David Cameron of 'long battle' ahead for Bill to become law
PM promises Tory MPs to avoid any more divisive social issues
Opponents of gay marriage warned of a "long, protracted battle" ahead as they prepare for a last-ditch
attempt by peers to scupper the plans.
The proposals move to the Lords next month after being approved by MPs by a large majority despite
the opposition of 130 Tories.
Sixty-five peers have already signed up to speak on the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) when it receives
its second reading in the Lords on June 3 and many more are expected to follow suit.
The number, and the fact the Government has only allocated one debate to the subject, means the debate
is set to drag on into the small hours. That raises the possibility of opponents attempting an ambush
when the Lords is thinly-populated.
Lord Tebbit, the former Tory chairman and an outspoken critic of the plans, is among several ex-ministers
who have applied to speak.
The Coalition for Marriage, which is leading resistance to the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill,
accused David Cameron of being a "marriage wrecker".
