Mr Cameron unveiled the new set of policies after abandoning a pledge to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, which is now to come into force on 1 December.
He has been accused of backtracking on a "cast iron" pledged to hold a referendum, but he said: "I did not promise a referendum come what may, because once the Lisbon Treaty becomes law there is nothing people can do about it." Won't concoct pretext
And he said he did not want to "treat people like fools" by pretending that was not the case. He has been accused of backtracking on a "cast iron" pledge to hold a referendum, but he said: "I did not promise a referendum come what may, because once the Lisbon Treaty becomes law there is nothing people can do about it."
Mr Cameron promised referendums on any future moves to "transfer further powers from Britain to the European Union" if the Tories win power at the next election. "I recognise there are some who, now that we cannot have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, want a referendum on something else... anything else.
But he ruled out what he called a "phoney" referendum on the UK's EU negotiating aims as some in his party have been demanding. "But I just don't think it's right to concoct some new pretext for a referendum simply to have one for the sake of it."
But the Tory leader is still under pressure from Eurosceptics in his own party to offer the public a say on Europe. He said a "referendum lock" guaranteeing a vote on future treaties and the repatriation of some powers were "credible, doable and deliverable" goals.
Mr Cameron said the phrase "never again" would feature in the party's general election campaign and manifesto.
The sovereignty bill would act in place of a written constitution, which Britain does not have, to prevent the "drift" of EU powers into new areas of law, explained Mr Cameron.
But he said he would need the agreement of all 27 EU nations to get powers back on employment law, which would include the working time directive, and the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
And he reassured other EU nations that he was not seeking a "bust up" with them.
