What type of supply from the CU?
Is it a live, neutral and earth coming into the switch - because that is what you need to get power to your outside and porch light.
It is probable that you have a live and switched live at the switch with no neutral - that will not work with your outside lights.
Perhaps you should start here:

Scroll down to the '2gang using Terminal Block enclosed within the light switch'.
This is similar to the type of arrangement you will need.
