Draw out? It’s not allowed, we hear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elicit

'draw out?' is the definition.
(I know that draw out can be written as elicit)

'not allowed we hear' is the wordplay.
'not allowed' becomes 'illicit' (illicit means against the law).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'illicit' sounds like 'ELICIT'.

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for elicit that I've seen before include "Extract" , "Call forth, educe" , "Bring something out into the open" , "Draw out from, meaning or response" , "Draw out or bring forth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
