Generosity in debates about reformed senate (15)
I believe the answer is:
considerateness
'generosity' is the definition.
(being considerate of other people)
'in debates about reformed senate' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'debates' becomes 'considers' ('consider' can be a synonym of 'debate').
'about' becomes 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers).
'reformed senate' becomes 'tenes' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'tenes'='atenes'
'considers' enclosing 'atenes' is 'CONSIDERATENESS'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
