Scope; allowance (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latitude

This clue is a double definition.

'scope' is the first definition.
(I know that latitude is a type of scope)

'allowance' is the second definition.
(latitude can mean allowance or independence)

(Other definitions for latitude that I've seen before include "Unrestricted" , "Imaginery line around the earth" , "Distance from pole" , "Distance north or south of the equator" , "Liberality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
