Can somebody give me a hint with 15D please?
The clue is "Here a parliamentary official's behind court process, finally plugging deficiency" (8)
The only letter I hvae is possibly P in 5th place.
I've read the earlier thread and done about half of this puzzle but am now stuck.

Many thanks

Hi jws, the definition is quite a long one, at the start of the clue

thanks mrs trellis, I think I get it now

First time of trying the Genius - think the title put me off (I'm clearly not one). Still, managed everything except for 3,4 (I love going through rubbish in port- 4,6). Nothing I can find seems to make any sense, so assume I am wrong elsewhere. Any help please. Thanks.

3,4 is one of the themed answers. The port is a southern England seaside town. The "tasty" bit is the first word.

Thanks for the 'nudge'. Still working at it - clearly my brain is not in gear today.

Liz:in case you're still tearing your hair out---and I did,too,on this one---try thinking of either a Greek kind of bread or of Lawrence of Arabia!!!

Thanks for that - I now have the answer but am sitting in the corner GROANING at the appaling pun. No wonder I had trouble with it. Thanks again!
