Conservative in E-type getting armed guard (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escort

'armed guard' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'conservative in e-type' is the wordplay.
'conservative' becomes 'c' (abbreviation commonly used in UK politics).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'type' becomes 'sort' (I've seen this before).
'e'+'sort'='esort'
'c' going within 'esort' is 'ESCORT'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for escort that I've seen before include "guide" , "Armed guards" , "Person(s) accompanying someone or something as protection" , "Provide company - car - guard" , "Accompany - Ford model" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
