Consents, with conditions, to work set by us (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
yes-buts
'consents with conditions' is the definition.
(saying yes but with a but)
'work set by us' is the wordplay.
'work' indicates an anagram.
'set'+'by'+'us'='setbyus'
'setbyus' with letters rearranged gives 'YES-BUTS'.
'to' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
