As chancellor, Nigel made rules in advance (6)
I believe the answer is:
lawson
'as chancellor nigel' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'rules in advance' is the wordplay.
'rules' becomes 'laws' (law is a kind of rule).
'in advance' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'laws'+'on'='LAWSON'
'made' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lawson that I've seen is " See 6".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
