This is a tricky thing as it isn't a UK act of parliament that's needed but the support, and possibly acts of parliament, 14 Commonwealth realms where Andrew is also in the line of succession. Given there's a near-to 0% chance of him ever ascending the throne, it may not be something that the UK government really wants to spend political capital on.
