Honourable and correct, out of bed first (7)
I believe the answer is:
upright
'honourable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'correct out of bed first' is the wordplay.
'correct' becomes 'right' (right can mean correct).
'out of bed' becomes 'up' (synonyms).
'first' says to put letters next to each other.
'right' after 'up' is 'UPRIGHT'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for upright that I've seen before include "Vertical like rugby goal post" , "Un-grand piano" , "Vertical, erect" , "Virtuous" , "Pole; principled" .)
