The 15 MPs who today voted in support of an In/Out referendum being held next year have been congratulated by UKIP Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall.
Adam Afriyie’s amendment to bring forward the referendum to 2014 was rejected in the House of Commons by 249 to 15.
"I am happy to congratulate those 15 MPs who had the courage of their convictions to stand up and be counted. They are clearly politicians of principle while meanwhile it appears many Conservatives just want to use the issue as a means of getting re-elected.
