Gives, apportions (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allots

I believe this is a double definition.

'gives' is the first definition.
(allotting is a kind of giving)

'apportions' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for allots that I've seen before include "Dispenses or distributes" , "Gives, apportions" , "Allows to have" , "Distributes, gives as share" , "Apportions or assigns" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
