One who forbids the use of flag? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banner

I believe this is a double definition.

'one who forbids the use of' is the first definition.
(someone who bans things)

'flag?' is the second definition.
(I know that banner is a type of flag)

(Other definitions for banner that I've seen before include "Especially good" , "Standard carried at demo etc" , "Long flag" , "Flag; headline" , "Streamer for advertising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
