I believe the answer is:
luncheons
'meals' is the definition.
(I know this)
'heavy hitters from police taking labour leader for oddly tory' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'labour' could be 'l' (political abbreviation) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'leader' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'tory' could be 'c' and 'c' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
