If parliament is voting on it yes, if it only debates it with no vote and then division then no,if it has to gain permission of the Commons the Lords will have to debate it too.

I think the govt ,the leave side in the govt, which was a minority just,were wanting to try to bypass parliament, only coming back with the deal as to trade with the EU for MPs to accept.

This call is for nothing to be done without the consent of parliament as there is a move too to try to ensure it is MPs who decide when to trigger article 50, not just the govt.

It is an almighty mess and the task of dismantling all is going to be colossal,that is all before we can even begin to start negotiation a trade deal.
Which is why no one, except foolishly Andrea Leadsom wants to trigger article 50 quickly,since once that is done there is a clock going for 2 years to get all done as to the exit in that time.
Then the trade deal negotiations expected to begin after that.
