Authorisation for each assignment (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

permission

'authorisation' is the definition.
(permission is a kind of authorisation)

'each assignment' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'per'.
'assignment' becomes 'mission' (mission is a kind of assignment).
'per'+'mission'='PERMISSION'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for permission that I've seen before include "Leave" , "Consent, authorisation" , "Visa, eg" , "Allowance" , "Green light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
