I believe the answer is:

scum

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">dross</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scum that I've seen before include "Impurities that rise to surface of liquid" , "People regarded as worthless, especially criminals" , "Floating dirt on surface" , "Waste matter floating on the surface" , "Floating rubbish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, The Times, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The Mirror, the Penny Press and the Sydney Morning Herald.
