Building let out and occupied by an English politician

Ross

I believe the answer is:

temple

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

'building' is the definition.
(I know that temple is a type of house of God)

'let out and occupied by an english politician' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'politician' could be 'mp' (Member of Parliament) and 'mp' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'let' is 'tle' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for temple that I've seen before include "One of two archbishops" , "Coy, composed" , "Shrine" , "Delicate spot on the head" , "Mormon church" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
