In fact, it transpires that the EU Withdrawal Act contains within it the provisions to extend the 29 March leaving date. The date can be extended by a Minister presenting a statutory instrument before Parliament. It’s a relatively straightforward procedure. Only the government can do it, mind - for parliament itself to change the date would require primary legislation to amend the Act.
