Meanwhile (7)
I believe the answer is:
interim
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">meanwhile</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for interim that I've seen before include "Meantime; temporary" , "Stopgap" , "not there for ever" , "Meanwhile" , "acting" .)
