Not as much in Wales say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

less

'not as much' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'in wales say' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LESS' is hidden within 'wales say'.

(Other definitions for less that I've seen before include "In smaller quantity" , "A smaller amount" , "See 12" , "Comparative of 'a little'" , "Fewer in number" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
