'parliament in sport' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'monarch politician and british' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'monarch' could be 'crown' (I've seen this before) and 'crown' is located in the answer.
'politician' could be 'green' (eg member of the Green Party) and 'green' is found within the answer.
'british' could be 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC) and 'b' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'owls' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
