Bribery source (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

slush fund

(Other definitions for slush fund that I've seen before include "Sum of money to be used for bribery" , "Reserve of money used for bribery" , "Money to be used for financing corruption" , "Questionable political capital" .)

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