Crown representative's no longer a verger after being sacked
I believe the answer is:
governorgeneral
'crown representative's' is the definition.
'no longer a verger after being sacked' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'being sacked' is an anagram indicator.
'no'+'longer'+'a'+'verger'='nolongeraverger'
'nolongeraverger' anagrammed gives 'GOVERNOR-GENERAL'.
I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
