Pole, currently Liberal Member of Parliament? (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barn owl

'member of parliament?' is the definition.
(parliament can mean a group of owls)

'pole currently liberal' is the wordplay.
'pole' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'currently' becomes 'now' (I've seen this in another clue).
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'bar'+'now'+'l'='BARN OWL'

(Other definitions for barn owl that I've seen before include "Night-flying raptor" , "Flier" , "Countryside bird" , "Nocturnal bird native to Britain" , "Endangered night bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
