leeway

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'scope' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'marginal latitude' is the second definition.
'leeway' can be an answer for 'latitude' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'marginal' bit.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leeway that I've seen before include "Drift to make up" , "Allowance" , "Flexibility" , "Scope for freedom of movement or action" , "Space for free movement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
