jfman seems to think parliament can use a statutory instrument to legislate and amend the withdrawal act. It cannot. Parliament can only approve or reject a statutory instrument laid before it by the Government.
Parliament has only rejected no deal by indicative vote, the default no deal exit still stands and parliament cannot change it.
That does not mean the future PM will not seek a further extention if he/she thinks there is a possibility of a deal being made.
