Non-specific information on Morecambe? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

generic

'nonspecific' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'information on morecambe' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen is a kind of information).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'morecambe' becomes 'eric' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gen'+'eric'='GENERIC'

(Other definitions for generic that I've seen before include "Non-specific" , "Applicable to an entire class or group" , "appropriate for the whole class" , "cheap drug" , "Of a whole group or kind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
