Parliament is not the end stage of any legislation, Royal Assent is.
Parliament has only had it's say in the act to allow the referendum,it has not played any part in repealing the ECA ,of which invoking A50 is part because that hasn't started yet .People seem to be struggling with way our democratic system works

Royal assent is granted or refused based on advice from the Monarchs Ministers who will always tell the Monarch to allow legislation that has passed through Parliament .Parliament is the supreme authority with the Monarch at it's head .It alone can pass laws or repeal laws .....not the Government
