On page record name in passport for sucker (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peppermint

'sucker' is the definition.
(something which is sucked on)

'on page record name in passport' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'page' could be 'p' and 'p' is found in the answer.
'record' could be 'ep' and 'ep' is located in the answer.
'name' could be 'min' and 'min' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pert' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for peppermint that I've seen before include "Pungent sweet" , "herb" , "Aromatic plant" , "flavour" , "Sweet flavoured with aromatic oil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
