Allow European representative to build place of worship (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

temple

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place of worship' is the definition.
(temple is a kind of place of worship)

'allow european representative' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'allow' could be 'le' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'le' is located in the answer.
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'representative' could be 'mp' (Member of Parliament) and 'mp' is present in the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to build' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for temple that I've seen before include "Coy, composed" , "London tube station" , "Side of head or sacred building" , "Shrine" , "centre of interest?" .)
