Back again Malone. Can you help me with the answer to 68a - Bringing in newspaper extract, omitting dry details (5)(either dry or details is superfluous)
Is 112a North sea? Makes sense to me

Hi ginge - good to hear from you again!
112a - PM's main item sources of oil (8 two words) with item being superfluous. I believe there was a British PM called North. If it's right then 90d (After pardon oblige to come round (6) becomes B?H?N? (Behind/by hand)???
