Agency no longer in a slippery situation? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

office

'agency' is the definition.
(I know that agency can be written as office)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for office that I've seen before include "Subsidiary" , "Position of authority" , "Position in government?" , "Business room or religious rite" , "employment > service" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
