The best policy the Tories could introduce is a proper married couples allowance

But commitment or otherwise marriage is a legal entity - your partnership/contract is legally recognised and registered. Cohabitation is not a legally recognised entity.
Civil partnerships are roughly the same as a hetrosexual marriage - a legally recognised and registered partnership/contract.
If the gov't decide to reinstate the married couples tax allowance then I would imagine it is for couples who are married/in civil partnership.
Especially if it is a conservative gov't as David Cameron has been saying for a number of years that he would like marriage to be recognised in the tax system.
Tories, family values, blah blah blah. No one has yet to post evidence that a co-habiting couple are in any way less commited to each other than a married couple."An arrogant and self-righteous Guardian reading tvv@t".

Nonsense, a return to Tory "family values" is clearly just what we need.
After all, it was sooo successful for the Major govt.0 -

Indeed so, the proponent having an affair with a cabinet member, his son divorcing with his 'unreasonable' behaviour being quoted, and then setting up a 'love nest' (a bit 80's I know) with his son's deputy head.

Now there's a hope.0
