The Speaker of the House of Commons has had to suspend parliamentary proceedings mid-way through a Statement by the new Secretary of State for Exiting the EU (Dominic Raab) to allow the Government's White Paper on departing the EU to be distributed to MPs across the House to allow informed questions on the document to be aired.
The delay did give the impression of a rather shambolic ordering of affairs particularly with the Press having had sight of the White Paper earlier in the morning (albeit subject to reporting restrictions ahead of the Secretary of State's statement).
What is a White Paper?

The Government's White Paper on exiting the EU published just now:
It will be interesting to see if the Government will look to advance the notion that free movement will be ended by giving effect to the existing (but seldom used) restrictions on free movement. That would be a little like using a previously available, but little implemented, restriction to a club to control access. Alan Partridge seeking to enforce the denim clause at his Choristers members club springs to mind.
The fluidity of the notion of sovereignty means that there is scope to accommodate apparently competing claims. Not least the notion of sovereignty can float between legal and political currents of argument. The fluidity of the notion of sovereignty is a fundamental aspect of the debate on the consequences of EU membership and means that this central notion has remained open to construction since Parliament debated the EU Referendum Bill but exists also in the writing of Dicey upon which ideas relating to the notion of sovereignty are often founded.
