On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I seek your guidance on whether it is discourteous to the chamber for members to receive documents pertaining to the next debate just over an hour before the debate takes place. How is it possible to have a meaningful scrutiny session and discussion about the documents if we do not have sufficient time to look at them?
I thank the member for his point of order. I advise him that that is a matter not for the standing orders but for the Scottish Government, which will have heard the point that he has raised.
