white hall

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

'british government' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a little bit sorry? the lot of them' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'little' could be 'whit' (I've seen this before) and 'whit' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for white hall that I've seen before include "Halt while we find British Government" , "Cenotaph street, SW1" , "Street symbolising British government" , "The British Government or London street" , "Site of the British civil service" .)
