Crossword Genius

A large object in parliament (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

althing

'parliament' is the definition.
(Icelandic parliament)

'a large object' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'object' becomes 'thing' (thing is a kind of object**).
'a'+'l'+'thing'='ALTHING'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for althing that I've seen before include "Icelandic parliament" , "Island parliament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
