Pursuit of hobbyist putting a foot down about part of office? (5,10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stamp collecting

'pursuit of hobbyist' is the definition.

'putting a foot down about part of office?' is the wordplay.
'putting a foot down' becomes 'stamping'.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'part of office?' becomes 'collect' (a 'collect' is a type of short prayer).
'stamping' enclosing 'collect' is 'STAMP COLLECTING'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
