I see no sign yet of an Act of Parliament to change UK law on the matter, so I wouldn't be so sure.

Why do you think Jacob Rees-Mogg has that smug expression on his face?

9 working days to go and counting.....
Theresa May (arguably) doesn’t have to get an Act of Parliament to change the date. International treaties are the perogative of the Government. It’d be an argument in court, but enough time would pass that we de facto extend, if not de jure. Enough time for her, and the EU, to find a solution.
