Moral reservations (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scruples

(Other definitions for scruples that I've seen before include "Doubts about the morality of an action" , "Doubts stemming from conscience or principles" , "Doubts or hesitations promted by conscience" , "Feelings of doubt produced by conscience" , "Qualms" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
