Here for the time being (7)
I believe the answer is:
present
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'here' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'the time being' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for present that I've seen before include "Serpent (anag.)" , "It is given" , "Christmas hand-out" , "something not seen under a tree every day" , "Give - what's received at Christmas?" .)
