PM's diary sets out major points raised in Egypt (8)
I believe the answer is:
pyramids
'major points raised in egypt' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'pm's diary sets' is the wordplay.
'sets' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'setting' mean this).
'pms'+'diary'='pmsdiary'
'pmsdiary' anagrammed gives 'PYRAMIDS'.
'out' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pyramids that I've seen before include "Cairo landmarks" , "Giant tombs of Egypt" , "in Africa?" , "Egyptian tombs of the Pharaohs" , "Great tombs of the Pharaohs" .)
