The Surrender Act compels the PM to (1) request an extension and (2) accept it. it says nothing about implementing it. The only way to change the date of 31/10 - which is enshrined in UK Law - is to alter that Law. The Surrender Act does not compel the PM to do that.

Actually an agreed extension to A50 will be international law and therefore supersede all else.
