That would have made little difference. Parliament can't bind itself; there is no law it can make that it can't subsequently change. The referendum act might perhaps have included provisions specifically authorising the triggering of A50, and that might have been neater, but it still wouldn't have been binding on parliament and we would by now most likely have court cases seeking to exploit other aspects of the process instead.
