Thanks Malone, your help for 7a) highlighted the mistake I had made with my answer for 8d).

Still not making headway with 10d) though:(

Dean is also a (more useful) principal.

Don't think so, I've just reached same conclusion as you

Anagram of Lord around dean (without the “n”ame).

Anagram of Lord around dean (without the “n”ame).

Dextrous, thanks - now solved

10d) Thanks Malone - eventually got there

One last teaser for me is 5 and 26d:- "Hell me incomes dodgy"-absent peer. I don't know if there is an anagram lurking in there or not but what I have is ?i?u?l?e for the first word and m?n? for the second. My answers to the clues across are :-9 Downhill,12,usher,15 semicolon 18,quite so nd 25 insomniac and 28 enigma. Help please

The u is the h in 12 (your typo)

It is an anagram of the name of someone who’s been absent from the H o Lords for a while due to being under investigation.

Ah yes thanks i see my typo in the post I made
