Corruption of niece’s MP, for example (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

specimen

'example' is the definition.
(specimen is a kind of example)

'corruption of niece's mp' is the wordplay.
'corruption of' is an anagram indicator.
'nieces'+'mp'='niecesmp'
'niecesmp' is an anagram of 'SPECIMEN'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for specimen that I've seen before include "Test sample" , "Derogatory description of person" , "Copy" , "Person critically" , "Object serving as an example of its class" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
