He perhaps requires odd bits of glass (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gas

'he perhaps' is the definition.
(he is a kind of gas)

'odd bits of glass' is the wordplay.
'odd bits of' indicates alternate letters.
The alternate letters of 'glass' are 'GAS'.

'requires' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gas that I've seen before include "Talk excessively" , "See 2" , "rabbit" , "Hydrogen or oxygen, say" , "Form of fossil fuel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
