Conservative after turning angrier to questioning (13)
I believe the answer is:
interrogatory
'questioning' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'conservative after turning angrier to' is the wordplay.
'conservative' becomes 'tory' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'turning' indicates an anagram.
'angrier'+'to'='angrierto'
'angrierto' is an anagram of 'interroga'.
'tory' put after 'interroga' is 'INTERROGATORY'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
