David Cameron pledge to Tories: No more divisive issues like gay marriage Two Cabinet ministers, David Jones, the Welsh Secretary, and Owen Paterson, the Environment Secretary, were among the 133 Conservative MPs who voted against the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill. Speaking to BBC Radio 4"s Today programme Mr Cameron said: "There will be young boys in schools today who are gay, who are worried about being bullied, who are worried about what society thinks of them, who can see that the highest Parliament in the land has said that their love is worth the same as anyone else's love and that we believe in equality. And I think they'll stand that bit taller today and I'm proud of the fact that has happened. "But if you're saying to me, "Is the first now of many other issues like that?" No it isn't. The Government now is going to be absolutely focused on the big picture, which is fixing our economy, reforming welfare, making sure there are good schools for our children to go to. Despite attempting to reassure unruly backbenchers over gay marriage, the Prime Minister remained bullish over Europe, warning Eurosceptics that he will make no further concessions to them over an EU referendum. Mr Cameron last week rushed out laws to guarantee that the public is assured an in-out referendum on Britain's membership of the EU before the end of 2017. The draft Bill was published last week amid growing pressure from Tory MPs and ministers for a referendum to be guaranteed in law. The Prime Minister said that no matter how much pressure he comes under in the coming months from Tory MPs "this policy is not going to change." It's a very clear, very decisive policy and let me say - this policy, [it] doesn't matter the pressure I come under from outside the Conservative Party or in Europe or inside the Conservative Party. This policy is not going to change. The question is not going to change. The number of referenda isn't going to change. The date by which we hold this referendum isn't going to change. It's the right policy for the country.
