Restrict stuff on page (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cramp

'restrict' is the definition.
(cramping is a kind of restricting)

'stuff on page' is the wordplay.
'stuff' becomes 'cram' (cramming is a kind of stuffing**).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'cram'+'p'='CRAMP'

(Other definitions for cramp that I've seen before include "Severe muscular pain" , "Give too little space to" , "hamper" , "Contract" , "Muscle spasm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
