Hardly difficult to find? (6)

I believe the answer is:

scarce

This clue is a double definition.

'hardly' is the first definition.
(I know that hardly can be written as scarce)

'difficult to find?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for scarce that I've seen before include "Hardly" , "Scant, meagre" , "Not often come across" , "Falling short of demand" , "Rarely seen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
