The Prime Minister's decision follows intense pressure for action from within the Tory party.
David Cameron will publish a draft bill today which would guarantee an in/out EU referendum - following pressure from Tory backbenchers.
It's not a government bill, because he doesn't have the support of the Lib Dems - and there still won't be a vote before 2017.
Premier's Political Editor Martyn Eden has told Marcus Jones on the News Hour why he thinks they've forced the issue upon the PM:
News you can believe in. Stand with Premier Christian News today.
Your gift today ensures that Premier Christian News can press forward in strength, reaching more people with biblical truth and shaping the future of Christian thought. It’s more than just a donation—it’s an investment in renewed minds and transformed lives.
Without continued support, the ability to create and distribute resources that strengthen faith and equip the church will be compromised. But with your help, we can grow deeper, stand firmer, and shine brighter in the culture.
Your support today is critical.
