Records containing recent requirement for those lacking experience? (1-6)
I believe the answer is:
l-plates
'requirement for those lacking experience?' is the definition.
(L-plates are required for learner drivers)
'records containing recent' is the wordplay.
'records' becomes 'L-Ps' (LP is a type of record).
'containing' is an insertion indicator.
'recent' becomes 'late' (similar in meaning).
'lps' placed around 'late' is 'L-PLATES'.
(Other definitions for l-plates that I've seen before include "Cutlery for learning to drive" , "Pallets compulsory for novice drivers" , "Signs of a learner driver" .)
