Bag and basket for lifting rubbish — everyone in favour (3-3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hot-air balloon

'bag and basket for lifting' is the definition.
(vehicle for lifting people into the air)

'rubbish everyone in favour' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'hotair' ('hot air' can mean rubbish or nonsense).
'everyone' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'favour' becomes 'boon' (I've seen this before).
'all' placed into 'boon' is 'balloon'.
'hotair'+'balloon'='HOT-AIR BALLOON'

(Other definitions for hot-air balloon that I've seen before include "Lighter-than-air craft" , "Craft using heat to gain altitude" , "Aerial transport" , "Flame-powered craft" , "Basket lifter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
