Regrets deposit involved in a safety procedure (10,4)
I believe the answer is:
registered post
'a safety procedure' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'regrets deposit involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'regrets'+'deposit'='regretsdeposit'
'regretsdeposit' is an anagram of 'REGISTERED POST'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for registered post that I've seen before include "sign for this?" , "Special form of delivery" , "Specially secure delivery" , "important letters? - with 28a" , "Type of mail" .)
