Messages sent round in Parliament (1-4)
I believe the answer is:
'messages sent' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'round in parliament' is the wordplay.
'round' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'liame' is hidden within 'parliament'.
'liame' written backwards gives 'E-MAIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for e-mail that I've seen before include "Electronic epistle" , "Electronic letter" , "Electronic communication" , "Online post" , "Online message" .)
