Everybody due to be given a permit (7)
I believe the answer is:
allowed
'given a permit' is the definition.
'allowed' can be an answer for 'given' (allowing is a kind of giving). I'm unsure of the 'a permit' bit.
'everybody due' is the wordplay.
'everybody' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'due' becomes 'owed' (synonyms).
'all'+'owed'='ALLOWED'
'to be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for allowed that I've seen before include "permissible" , "Given the chance" , "Owned" , "Legitimate" , "Permitted and granted" .)
