Member's lobby consumed by matter (7)
I believe the answer is:
phallus
'member's' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'lobby consumed by matter' is the wordplay.
'lobby' becomes 'hall' (synonyms).
'consumed by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters get consumed).
'matter' becomes 'pus' (liquid matter produced by the body).
'hall' inserted within 'pus' is 'PHALLUS'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
