Lacking in quantity or quality (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meagre

This clue is a double definition.

'lacking in quantity' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quality' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Poor quality' mean 'meagre' so perhaps 'quality' could also mean 'meagre')

(Other definitions for meagre that I've seen before include "Small, insufficient" , "Stingy - thin" , "skinny" , "Scarce - scanty" , "deficient in amount" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
