9. So now this has to go through the House of Lords and be signed by the Queen?

10. The one last week was a law

so that would have needed the House of Lords and the Queen.
Today was to hand over documents (which is already law) and obey the law.

From the Guardian re Corbyn's motion and the debate that followed

Motion urging government to comply with no-deal prevention law passes without a vote
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn closes the debate and says his party would support an early general election once “the government had made clear they will carry out the law”, asking it to extend the Brexit deadline to prevent no deal.

“Surely, Mr Speaker, the very least we deserve from the prime minister is a clear undertaking that a requirement that we ask for an extension until January to prevent crashing out must be made at the appropriate time,” he says. “Why can’t the foreign secretary or the prime minister say that?”

After the government has made it clear that it will respect the law, Labour would be happy to debate any of the government’s policies in a general election, Corbyn declares.

And the motion passes without a division.
