Official desk to cart around (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bureaucrat

'official' is the definition.
(a bureaucrat is a government official)

'desk to cart around' is the wordplay.
'desk' becomes 'bureau' (type of writing desk).
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cart' is an anagram of 'crat'.
'bureau'+'crat'='BUREAUCRAT'

(Other definitions for bureaucrat that I've seen before include "Government official" , "Administrator" , "Mandarin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
