Any vote by the public on the EU was not just in the Tory manifesto but as from 2011 is now the law!.. this government went as far as to include this law in the UK constitution in 2011.
The EU Act 2011 is to place a referendum lock on any further transfers of power from the UK to the European Union. This is how the Conservative Party manifesto in the last election described the proposal that led to the Act.
Section 2 of the Act provides generally that treaties amending or replacing existing EU treaties may not be ratified unless the public approves proposed changes in a referendum .

So there is little room for Cameron to move if the EU propose yet another treaty other than call a referndum..
