Deputy Presiding Officer, I wish to raise a point of order under Standing Order 13.9(ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi)—obstructing the business of the Assembly; seeking to raise a matter outside the scope of the debate; is guilty of discourteous or unbecoming conduct; refuses to conform to any Standing Order or other requirement for conduct—and possibly in respect of Standing Order 15.1 on 'The following documents' being tabled in this place, and there may possibly be other Standing Orders that I haven't yet been able to look at.

I have, as I think every single Member has, received circulated, unsolicited what I regard as offensive material, distributed by UKIP in this Chamber. As far as I'm aware, there has been no authority from yourself for the distribution or the tabling of this. It is clearly intended to influence a particular debate and is irrelevant to that particular debate. We have no idea what the status of it is. I regard this as offensive, discourteous conduct and I'd be grateful if you would rule on this matter.
