Reason for command? Possible breach of procedures (5,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
point of order
'reason' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'for command? possible breach of procedures' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is found in the answer.
'command?' could be 'order' (order is a kind of command) and 'order' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for point of order that I've seen before include "Question raised about a meeting's procedure" , "to get goods supplied, one imagines" , "Procedural query" , "Issue raised during a parliamentary motion" , "Question as to whether the current proceedings are allowed" .)
