laid aside

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'help the ladies carry out' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'put away' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'laid' (I've seen this before).
'away' becomes 'a-side' (synonyms).
'laid'+'aside'='LAID ASIDE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for laid aside that I've seen before include "on the shelf?" , "Waiting for possible employment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
