Group said to be outlawed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banned

'be outlawed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'group said' is the wordplay.
'group' becomes 'band' (band can mean a group of people).
'said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'band' is a homophone of 'BANNED'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for banned that I've seen before include "Censored" , "Group on radio" , "Prohibited officially" , "Legally prohibited" , "Prohibited by censor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
