Cameron rejects calls to commit to Lisbon Treaty vote

David Cameron today rejected calls by Tory Eurosceptics to commit to a British referendum on the Lisbon Treaty even if it has been ratified by the rest of the EU.

Yesterday’s 'Yes' vote in Ireland removed a major obstacle to full ratification of the treaty. Now, the UK's Tory leader was coming under renewed pressure to explain what he would do if it has been fully implemented by the time a Conservative government came to power.
