Men tear apart parliamentary bill that's been postponed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remanet

'parliamentary bill that's been postponed' is the definition.
(a remanet is a postponed parliamentary bill)

'men tear apart' is the wordplay.
'apart' indicates anagramming the letters (the word is broken apart).
'men'+'tear'='mentear'
'mentear' anagrammed gives 'REMANET'.
