Brexiteers have claimed the move would be “totemic” and lay out Boris’ Brexit position in “black and white”, the Times reports.
The no nonsense approach by Johnson is in stark contrast to Theresa May who enraged Euroscpetic MPs by delaying Brexit as much as possible.
She refused to make the order by the original March 29 deadline and instead pushed it to Halloween.
Steve Baker, chair of European Research Group, said: “It is absolutely totemic. It shows a transformation in the approach, that Boris Johnson is willing to leave on a fixed date with no question of extension.
“It’s the do-or-die pledge in black and white. It’s not merely symbolic. Once it’s signed that’s it, the UK is leaving.”
MPs voted to repeal the European Communities Act of 1972, legislation that brought Britain in the EU, with a majority of 36 votes in September this year.
In doing so they pushed through the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018 - which will be put into effect when Barclay signs the commencement order.
This is legislation designed to bring into force the whole or part of an Act of Parliament which may have been previously delayed.
Boris' Brexit plan is said to have enraged Tory rebels, frustrated because they can't legally stop the order being signed.
Tory Remainer Dominic Grieve is set to challenge the order by reversing it retrospectively, Guido Fawkes reports.
Meanwhile Sajid Javid is in Berlin today for the UK government's first meetings with Berlin.
Finance minister Olaf Sholz tweeted: "Good meeting today with my new UK colleague @sajidjavid. We discussed #Brexit and future cooperation. The EU27 stands united and is ready for all scenarios. The best and only way for an orderly withdrawal is the negotiated #Brexitdeal."
