Dominic Raab's first speech as Brexit Secretary was halted shortly after it had begun, as MPs shouted that they had not seen the White Paper.
Mr Raab said the paper would be made available "as soon as is practicably possible".
Former Labour minister Ben Bradshaw could be seen throwing copies of the document to MPs on his own bench.
At which point, Speaker Bercow decided to suspend sitting for five minutes
to give MPs time to read it.

The likes of Tim Streater must be glowing with pride at this fine example of British democracy in action
