Authority to carry out execution (10)

Ginge, I realise this is way beyond the deadline, so don't feel obliged to consider it ...

Doorman without experience initially or air of authority (10)

Hi folks, sorry for the delay but I've just retrieved my phone (my internet access) from my Doctor's waiting room (other end of the City) having inadvertently left it there yesterday teatime. I'm just about to board a train home where I don't get reception so I'll give this my immediate attention in about an hour from now.

Hi again folks, without wishing to delay this much further I need some assistance and clarification. Anyone feel free to contribute.
@ paul Is your chef (commis) clue missing the 2nd "s" and I'm not seeing the wordplay in 8.
@ skyewalker I'm not getting anywhere with 5 and is 14 a cut of the pot?

Sorry. Just home.

5 "Agent's cut" - definition and also COMMIS + S + SCION
Remove $ (S) and "cents" (C)

14 PO - Post Office - double definition

Hi Ginge;

@7 COMMIS + SI (unit) + ON, def

@8 COMM (ISSEI-E) ON, def

Thanks paul and skyewalker, back after York racing.

Thanks everyone for taking part and again apologies for the late result and having to rush parsing.
So.even great double definitions, substitutions, composites and variots anagram types.
Touches I found particularly inspired, paul's issei, fiery's lives back to back, ixion's cut(e), dja's Capital Xtra and aristo's om. Seamus's coos had me chortling.
My shortlist included Seamus 13, mattrom 19 and stevea 23 but the winner (scion as cut rather than cutting eluded me) is skyewalker's &littish

Agent's cut, perhaps not in dollars and cents

Your prize some more irreverent Pythonism
