Insurance allows for bed-linen (9)
I believe the answer is:
coverlets
'bed-linen' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'insurance allows' is the wordplay.
'insurance' becomes 'cover' (I've seen this before).
'allows' becomes 'lets' ('let' can be a synonym of 'allow').
'cover'+'lets'='COVERLETS'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
