Send out children (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

I believe this is a double definition.

'send out' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'children' is the second definition.
(issue can mean someone's offspring)

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Subject of debate" , "Children; important topic" , "Topic; give out" , "Continent" , "Topic (to be addressed)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
