Leeway, scope (8)
I believe the answer is:
latitude
This clue is a double definition.
'leeway' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'scope' is the second definition.
(I know that latitude is a type of scope)
(Other definitions for latitude that I've seen before include "Angle from the equator" , "London's is about fifty one point five degrees North" , "global cover to some degree?" , "Toleration" , "Breadth for interpretation" .)
