Here no minister is found to support judges (9)
I believe the answer is:
backbench
'here no minister is found' is the definition.
(UK MPs who are ministers sit on the front benches)
'support judges' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'back' (back is a kind of support).
'judges' becomes 'bench' (name for a judge's seat, or for judges themselves).
'back'+'bench'='BACKBENCH'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for backbench that I've seen before include "Like MP, but not minister" , "no place for minister" , "(Of MP) not holding office" .)
