Ross

I believe the answer is:

scant

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">meagre</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">insufficient</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scant that I've seen before include "Deficient, sparing" , "Hardly any" , "Little" , "Bare" , "Barely sufficient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
