Had scrap about place to sleep (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
crash pad
'place to sleep' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'had scrap about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'had'+'scrap'='hadscrap'
'hadscrap' is an anagram of 'CRASH-PAD'.
(Other definitions for crash pad that I've seen before include "doss house" , "temporary place to sleep" , "Temporary basic accommodation (slang)" .)
